The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a local administrative body established to protect the rights and welfare of human research subjects recruited to participate in research conducted under the sponsorship of Minnesota State University, Mankato. All research activity involving human subjects conducted at or under the sponsorship of the University must have IRB approval.
The IRB has the authority to approve, require modification in, or disapprove all research activities that fall within its jurisdiction as specified by federal or local institutional policy. The IRB provides assurances to research subjects that every reasonable attempt has been made to protect their rights and safety as subjects. This page provides the essential information and forms necessary to submit an IRB proposal.
