Institutional Review Board (IRB)

Return to previous page

Marshall University has two IRBs of record registered with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Human Research Protections (IRB#1: 00002205 and IRB#2: 00003206). 

The university’s Human Research Protection Program Standard Operating Procedures Manual (see the IRB Membership Chapter) details the membership composition, and their roles and responsibilities in evaluating the scientific and ethical integrity of proposed research, including conflict of interest issues. An active IRB membership roster is available on the ORI website under each individual board.

The accurate maintenance of records for each active protocol is a responsibility of the IRB coordinator.
