Institutional Review Board

Institutional Review Board (IRB) Purpose

The primary purpose of the IRB is to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in research activities. Barry University’s IRB meets 10 times per year, reviewing both exempt and non-exempt protocols through full board, exempt, and expedited/limited review procedures. 

The Barry IRB uses IRBNet*(irbnet.org), a web-based tool for managing protocol submission, modification, tracking, and communication and the Collaborative Institutional and Training Initiative (CITI) program for their required research ethics and compliance training (https://about.citiprogram.org/en/homepage/). The Office of the Provost oversees, and provides administrative support for, the Barry IRB.

Research activities reviewed by the IRB include the following:

  • Research that is sponsored by Barry University or that is conducted by or under the direction of any employee or agent of Barry University in connection with his or her university responsibilities, or in which he or she has authorization to list Barry University as his or her university affiliation.
  • Research that is conducted by or under the direction of any employee or agent of Barry University using any property or facility of Barry University.
  • Research that involves the use of Barry University's non-public information to identify or contact human research participants or prospective participants.
  • Please follow the IRB Guideline IRNNET 2019 0905 (Handout) to register on the IRBNet. Once you register on the IRBNet.org, you will have access to the IRB guidance, forms, and templates that will help you assemble the project materials necessary for the IRB review and approval.
DEADLINE DATES Full Board Reviews are due on the 1st Friday of the month by 12pm (no exceptions).

  • IRB Meetings are held on the 4th Wednesday of the month.

    There are no meetings in December or July, but submissions that do not require full-board consideration are reviewed over the summer.

    Most submissions do not require full-board review and can be submitted at any time. Research that requires full-board review must be submitted by the first Friday of a month during which the Board meets so the submission can be added to that month’s meeting agenda.

    Meetings are open to the University Community.

  • The Barry IRB is composed of full-time faculty from all schools and colleges within the University. Prospective members are nominated by the Chair of their Department and approved by their Dean and the Provost. The Board also includes a community member.

    Board members serve a 3-year-term. Each year, a member is asked to become the IRB Co-Chair for the following academic year. That person moves into the role of IRB Chair a year after being the Co-Chair and serves in an advisory capacity the year after leaving the Chair position.
