IRB Institutional Official
Federal regulations require that all proposed human research studies undergo review by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is responsible for reviewing all human subjects research and ensuring compliance with federal regulations. Clayton State University, through the IRB, is committed to a policy of safeguarding the rights, welfare, and privacy of individuals who volunteer to participate in research, whether such research is federally funded or not.
The President of Clayton State University has designated the Associate Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies as the Institutional Official (IO) with the authority to develop, implement, and monitor all research compliance programs.
The Clayton State University – University Institutional Review Board (IRB) will process all proposals that require human subject participation, and encourage, educate and promote faculty, students, staff and administration to conduct all types of research, including grants and contracts, that contribute to the enhancement of teaching, literature and community service. In all deliberations, the IRB will adhere to the Belmont guidelines, and require that research on human subject participation be conducted to protect the rights of individuals against harm. The IRB will maintain a federally registered IRB status to ensure compliance with federal statutes and regulations, and to encourage federal research as well as state and local research.
