Students doing research with human subjects will need to obtain approval from the Institutional Review Board or IRB.  The IRB is an entity of the Office of Research Compliance and Integrity, responsible for ensuring that the basic rights and welfare of research participants are fostered and protected.  GVSU faculty, staff, and community members on the IRB Committee review proposed research studies involving living persons. All research involving human subjects performed at GVSU and/or by GVSU students, staff, and/or faculty must be reviewed and authorized by the IRB prior to the beginning of the research.
