Welcome

The California State University, San Bernardino Institutional Review Boards mission is to assure, both in advance and by periodic review, that appropriate steps are taken to protect the rights and welfare of humans participating as subjects in the research. To accomplish this purpose, IRBs use a group peer review process to review research protocols and related materials (e.g., informed consent documents, surveys, interview questions, and protocol design) to ensure protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects of research. This is in accordance with federal regulations in the Federal Office of Human Research Protections CFR Title 45 Part 46 and the Federal Food and Drug Administration CFR Title 21 Part 56.

The IRB requests the applicant and their advisor attend the meeting for applications under full board review. Attending the meeting will facilitate the approval of your IRB application where you can address in person any concerns and clarifications the board has regarding your protocol. Those who would like to attend IRB meetings to view the IRB process are also invited to attend. We would request that you please notify the IRB Coordinator at 909-537-7588 or mgillesp@csusb.edu to provide seating arrangements.

Thank you,

Institutional Review Board
