CCSNH IRB Resources

The CCSNH Institutional Review Board (IRB) is charged with reviewing and monitoring research with human beings to ensure the rights and welfare of research participants are protected. The IRB reviews and approves all research involving human participants conducted at participating colleges prior to research. This includes research conducted by faculty, staff and students regardless of location or funding.
