Summer is approaching and ORP would like to remind you that the IRB is operational throughout the summer. We look forward to working with you to help facilitate a positive experience with the IRB. Please remember that ORP is only a phone call away waiting to answer your questions and guide you through the IRB process. We hope you all have a great summer!

 

 

The Office for Research Protections (ORP) provides administrative support to the IRB. The IRB's mission is to protect the rights and welfare of human participants who volunteer to take part in research at Boston College. Federal regulations and University Policy require prospective review and approval of all human subject research conducted by faculty, staff, or students.  As with Boston College's Jesuit tradition of excellence, service and beneficence, the goal of the IRB is to ensure the safe and ethical treatment of research participants.
