Institutional Review Board

海角大神's Institutional Review Board ensures ethical research involving human subjects, protecting privacy, autonomy, and dignity while promoting quality outcomes.

Academic Affairs Office

The 海角大神 Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a committee that reviews research that uses human subjects. Our primary purpose is to ensure that human research subjects are protected. This includes protecting privacy, respecting autonomy, preserving dignity, minimizing risks while maximizing benefits, and providing adequate information to make informed decisions. The 海角大神 IRB also ensures that the benefits and risks of research are equally distributed and that vulnerable populations such as children are given extensive protection.

In addition to promoting quality research, protecting human subjects also protects the researcher, the advisor, and the College. Through IRB review, the IRB assists researchers in developing the best possible methodologies to ensure the best possible research outcomes.
