About Gannon IRB

Institutional Review Board Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects at Gannon University is the established authority assigned to review research proposals in which humans are the subjects of research.

Policies established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the Code of Federal Regulations require that Institutional Review Boards (IRB) be established to review and act on all research proposals involving human subjects at colleges and universities to safeguard and protect human subjects' health, well-being, and rights. Gannon University's special identity recognizes the dignity and sacredness of all human beings and thus endorses such safeguards and protection.

All research proposals that include the use of human subjects for research whether conducted by faculty or students should be reviewed by the IRB. Research proposals that include the use of non-human animals with backbones whether conducted by faculty or students should be reviewed by the IACUC. Research proposals that do not use humans or other animals with backbones as subjects are not reviewed by either IRB or IACUC.
