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. During the academic year the IRB meets monthly. The IRB does not regularly meet during June, July, and August. However, applications will be reviewed within two weeks of submission during those months.
