New Human Subjects Research Review Committee Policy

Purpose and Scope

Portland State University (PSU) is responsible for the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in research sponsored or conducted by the university.   In order to meet this responsibility, the University established the Human Subjects Research Review Committee (referred to hereafter as the Institutional Review Board or IRB).  Members are charged with reviewing all research conducted under the auspices of PSU that involves human subjects to ensure adequate protections are in place.
