What is the IRB?

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) Administration is committed to following the federal regulations to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in research conducted under the auspices of the University of California, Davis.

IRB Review

The IRB at UC Davis provides not human subjects research, exemption and engagement determinations, well as expedited review and full committee review of non-exempt research. All non-exempt research must comply with applicable federal, state and local requirements to receive IRB approval.

Human subjects research can include things like conducting interviews and surveys.  Not sure if your project needs review by the IRB?  Check out the video presentation by IRB Trainer, Stephanie Falwell, CRC.  The PowerPoint is also provided here for reference:  IRB PowerPoint.
