WELCOME
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) has been established to assure the protection of all human subjects in research projects conducted by anyone on the premises of the University of Nebraska Medical Center/The Nebraska Medical Center/UNO and to research conducted elsewhere by faculty, students, staff, or other representatives of the University of Nebraska Medical Center in connection with their institutional responsibilities.
In accordance with Health and Human Services Regulations for Protection of Human Subjects (45 CFR 46), an institutional review board committee, composed of members from a variety of scientific disciplines as well as community members, assists investigators in the protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects. The IRB also serves to facilitate valuable human subject research as well as protect the investigator and the institution through a comprehensive review process. All human research projects must be reviewed and approved by the IRB prior to initiation and then conducted in full compliance with the IRB guidelines.
