The
Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a JMU committee tasked with
the oversight of all research that involves human subjects. |
|
| IRB Mission: To oversee and review all research projects that involve research with human subjects. It is important to note that the IRB reviews all projects, not just externally supported activities. These reviews include faculty/ student research and classroom activities as well. See IRB Policy for more details. | |

Mandatory Training in
Protection of Human Subjects |
In response to the increasing pressure from Congress to tighten oversight of research on humans, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced that effective October 1, 2000, all investigators and key personnel conducting clinical research on NIH grants or contracts are required to undergo training in the protection of human subjects in research. The NIH definition of clinical research is quite broad and will impact a large fraction of the JMU campus NIH research involving human subjects.
Principal Investigators on projects involving human subjects research and all personnel who are directly responsible for the design and conduct of the human subjects part of the project must be trained prior to working with human subjects. This includes key foreign and domestic personnel on subcontracts and consultants and applies whether or not these individuals are compensated from the award. Training is required only once during the project period.
At this time James Madison University requires that all research personnel (faculty, staff and students) who have any role in research involving humans must complete a web-based training package. This is required regardless of research funding source.
Investigators carrying out federally-sponsored
research that involves human subjects can obtain further training on the
web at this
NIH site. Completing training through NIH does not release you from
having to complete the web-based training package mentioned above.
See OHRP, "Education" at http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/education/
for additional training assistance.
