Research with Human Subjects
Research involving human subjects must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) before any aspects of the research commence. The IRB is composed of faculty scientists, faculty non-scientists, and a non-SIUE affiliated member from the community, all of whom work together to protect the rights, welfare and well-being of human subject research participants.
This page (the “Overview”), “Protocol Submission Guidelines," and "Resources and Guidance" (linked at the left) provide instructions and resources for you to submit a protocol that will meet requirements and, thus, be reviewed more quickly. Also see the HSR FAQs.
If you have questions, assistance, or concerns, contact researchcompliance@siue.edu, ORP Research Compliance, or an IRB Chair, Dr. Amelia Perez and Dr. Alicia Alexander or submit the Graduate School Feedback Form.
