Institutional Review Board (IRB)

Institutional Review Board meetings play a critical role in ensuring the ethical conduct of research involving human subjects, particularly in academic or research settings. These meetings involve in-depth discussions and reviews of research proposals, protocols, and informed consent processes to safeguard the welfare, rights, and privacy of research participants. IRB members, often comprising experts in various fields, assess the ethical implications of research and determine whether studies meet rigorous ethical standards. These meetings are instrumental in upholding research integrity and ensuring that studies involving human subjects adhere to ethical principles and legal regulations.
