The mission of the Spelman College Institutional Review Board (IRB) is to ensure that all research involving human subjects conducted at the college or by researchers associated with the college be guided by the ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice as set forth in The Belmont Report: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects.
In particular, the IRB is committed to making sure that research conducted at, by, and for Spelman College:
The Federal Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) has useful materials related to the protection of human subjects available for download.
IRB Meeting Dates: IRB meets monthly as required. Most reviews are conducted as online designated reviews throughout the year as needed.
