Thinking About Doing Research Involving People? 

If so, you might have questions for or about the Institutional Review Board. An Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a committee established to review research involving human subjects.  All research that involves humans as participants requires IRB review and approval prior to initiation of the study. The primary purpose of IRBs is to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in research under their authority.  ETSU has established two IRBs to review research from the Main Campus, Medical Campus, and Quillen VA Medical Center. The ETSU/VA Medical and Campus IRBs are an important part of ETSU's Human Research Protection Program.
