Ethical Conduct of Research: The IRB and IACUC Processes

This workshop discusses university requirements for the protection of human subjects and the use of vertebrate animals in research. Learn what types of projects require prior approval from the university’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), what additional responsibilities researchers have when their research involves human subjects or vertebrate animals, and what to expect from the IRB and IACUC review processes.

These workshops, jointly sponsored by the University Scholars Program and the Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships, are open to all Northeastern University undergraduates. Students must attend “Minding the Gap,” “Finding Faculty Mentors,” and “From Problem to Proposal” in order to be eligible to apply for a 2017 Scholars Independent Research Fellowship or Summer Independent Research Fellowship (SIRF). Students whose SIRF projects will include the use of human subjects or vertebrate animals are also required to attend “Ethical Conduct of Research.”
