OSU Institutional Review Board

The charge of the OSU Institutional Review Board (IRB) is to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in research by minimizing risk and ensuring that subjects agree to participate voluntarily from an informed perspective.  This is mandated by federal regulations governing research involving human subjects, but it is undergirded by the commitment of the Office of Vice President for Research (where the responsibility for research compliance resides and with which the IRB is affiliated) to provide a climate for research and scholarly activity that is fertile and flexible insofar as possible while protecting the well-being of human subjects.
