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.
