Case IRB Policies and Procedures

The Case IRB guidebook is meant to supplement University policy as an educational tool for faculty, staff and students who perform non-medical research, specifically social/behavioral science research. It was designed as a "living document" in order to react to current regulatory guidelines and environment. The version below will be updated periodically as changes occur.

Please be aware that the guidebook contains standard procedures along with some recommendations on how to handle certain types of human study participant resesarch. Obviously, one document cannot address all possible human subject research projects. Please contact the Case IRB office for assistance and clarification.
