Human Subjects Research and IRB

 

 

 

Welcome to the Human Subjects and Institutional Review Board (IRB) home page for the University of Arizona.  We recently updated our website and hope you enjoy the new look and content.  As changes occur, we’ll provide updates through the Announcements section of our menu. 

Our process for protecting human research subjects reflects federal regulations developed in response to such cases as the Public Health Service syphilis study and the U.S. government radiation experiments.  The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) oversees the operation of the IRB.   I invite you to learn more about University of Arizona Human Subjects Research and IRB by visiting pages just one or two clicks away from our menu to the left.
