The Behavioral and Social
Science IRB reviews
non-medical research that includes, but is not limited to behavioral,
social, and environmental studies. Its members include representatives with
a broad range of expertise. The Behavioral and Social Science members who are faculty are
nominated by the Deans of the Schools or the department Chairs; they are
appointed by the Director of Office of Research Integrity.
(IRB#2 does not

two categories should be submitted under IRB#1.)
All research involving the use
of human subjects subject to the Marshall University Human Research
Protection Program MUSTbe submitted to an IRB designated by
