Preface

The IRB-HSR A-Z Index is a resource for University of Virginia researchers, UVA IRB-HSR staff and UVA IRB-HSR members  involved in the conduct of human subject research. The information found in the index is based on the,UVA HRPP Standard Operating Procedures,  applicable federal regulations, Virginia state statutes, and University of Virginia policies.

Introduction

In accordance with federal, state and local regulations and institutional policies an IRB must review all research regardless of sponsorship, involving human subjects prior to initiation of the project in order to ensure the rights and welfare of the subjects. This is applicable to all human subject research regardless of sponsorship and performed by UVA faculty, staff or students as an agent of the University. This includes advertising, recruitment and/or screening of potential subjects.
