HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH SUPPORT
The Roseman University Institutional Review Board safeguards the rights and welfare of human subjects who participate in research conducted under the auspices of the University or external partners, and to ensure that subjects are aware of their rights and protections available to them.

The University’s human research protection program is based on three basic ethical principles described in the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. The three principles are respect for persons, beneficence, and justice.

The IRB is charged with the review of all research projects that involve humans. The IRB has the authority to approve, require modifications (to secure approval), or disapprove all research activities that fall within its jurisdiction as specified by both the federal regulations and institutional policy.
