Human Subjects in Research
Federal Wide Assurance IRB Number
FWA 00014037
Expires April, 27, 2028
Assigned to ISU by the Division of Policy and Assurances/Office for Human Research Protections/ U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services
What is Required for Humans Subjects Project Approval?
Sponsors like NIH, DHHS and PHS apply strict rules on both Investigators and ISU. Federal law requires ISU and Investigators to do two things to ensure the legitimate, ethical handling of the people who are our human subjects -
- Have Protocols reviewed and approved by the HSC
- Complete Training specific to Human Subjects
- Complete protocols detailing your project plan
- Submit your protocol for review to the Human Subjects Committee (HSC)
- Wait to start until HSC approves your protocol
These steps apply:
- whether you intend to publish results,
- regardless of your funding,
- whether the research is part of a course or degree requirement,
- regardless of project location.
- Complete Human Subjects CITI Training
- Who? Each Investigator, all co-investigators & students on their research team
- When? Prior to submitting a protocol for HSC review
