Institutional Review Board*

Rowan University's Institutional Review Board's (IRB) mission is to assure the safe and ethical treatment of human participants in research. Federal and university regulations require that all research involving human participants conducted by Rowan faculty, staff, and students be reviewed and approved by the IRB before initiation.

The Rowan IRB is comprised of Rowan faculty as well as a community representative.

Some of the following documents are provided in PDF format. You will need the free Acrobat Reader software at the Adobe Website.

Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Human Subjects training is necessary for all researchers at Rowan University as of January 20, 2012. Researchers who have an existing NIH training certificate that is current (they expire after 3 years) may use this certificate, but all new researchers must complete the CITI Human Subjects Research training. Before submitting an IRB application, click the "Required IRB Training for Faculty/Staff/Students" link under "Training" and complete the “Human Subjects Research” module in your area of expertise; students doing research through a class must complete the Students - Class projects, Basic Course. Please note that if you have a research project funded through an external grant, there may be additional training requirements of which the Research Office will inform you.
