Ӱ̳ IRB Policy

(updated September 2023)

Federalwide Assurance:

Ӱ̳ has a Federalwide Assurance (FWA) with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for the protection of human research subjects. Through the terms of the FWA, Ӱ̳ commits to DHHS that it will comply with the requirements found in the DHHS Protection of Human Subjects regulations at .

The FWA covers all non-exempt human subjects research submitted at Ӱ̳ that is conducted or supported by DHHS, or funded by any other federal agency. However, Ӱ̳ voluntarily extends its FWA to cover all human subject research, regardless of the source of funding, including human subject research conducted by Ӱ̳ students.

Ӱ̳ will also extend its FWA to cover human subject research conducted by external research partners with whom Ӱ̳ has established an agreement. See External Research Partners for more information.
