IRB Committee and Forms

Federal regulations require all human subject research be reviewed and approved by an institution's IRB (Institutional Review Board). It is also the policy of DSC IRB to follow the regulations. However, some human subject research can be exempt under 45CFR46.101(b). Any exempt research under this section will need to follow (1) the Belmont Report, (2) DSC's administrative procedures, and (3) any regulations with regard to human subject protection.

Reviewing related government regulations and codes is strongly recommended. Student researchers are encouraged to visit DSC Writing Center. Online Writing Lab is also available. It is solely students' responsibility to improve their writings before submitting their projects to the Office of Institutional Research (IRO).

Please send all research requests to IRO. Allow 2 weeks for IRO review and 1 week for IRB review. DSC IRB will not accept any research request without IRO review first. Any unedited research proposal will cause serious delay. If you need assistance, feel free to contact Lu Lu Tuan at (435) 652-7598 or send e-mail to tuan@dixie.edu.
