院校检讨委员会
The 澳门葡京博彩软件 院校检讨委员会 (IRB) upholds the principles of respect, 仁慈和正义, with established guidelines to ensure that human research participants are treated with dignity, respect and with due regard for their welfare. We are committed to safeguarding and upholding the rights and welfare of all people who volunteer to participate in research.
Principles of Ethical 研究 Involving Humans
“Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of 研究,” better known as “The Belmont Report,” was created by the former United States Department of 健康, 教育, and Welfare—now known as 健康 and Human 服务 (HHS)—and is an important historical document in the field of medical ethics. The report was created on April 18, 1979, and gets its name from the Belmont Conference Center, formerly a part of the Smithsonian Institution and located in Elkridge, 马里兰, where the document was drafted.
“The Belmont Report” explains the unifying ethical principles that form the basis for the National Commission’s topic-specific reports and the regulations that incorporate its recommendations. The three fundamental ethical principles for all research involving human subjects are
- 尊重他人: protecting the autonomy of all people and treating them with courtesy and respect;
- 恩惠: maximizing good outcomes for humanity and research subject, while minimizing or avoiding risks or harm; and
- 正义: ensuring reasonable, nonexploitative, and well-considered procedures are administered fairly.
Those principles remain the basis for the HHS human subject protection regulations, and the 院校检讨委员会 is responsible for upholding them by reviewing all research involving human participants before it begins. 阅读完整的贝尔蒙特报告.
The IRB is required to review allegations of misconduct and to take action to protect human subjects. Please contact the IRB Chair or file a Participant Complaint Form if you have a concern about a research project. Reviewing complaints and allegations of noncompliance is critical to the IRB's ability to protect human subjects. A climate free of fear of sanction is required to foster appropriate reports and ensure a fair review of allegations. Retaliation against good faith “whistleblowers” is illegal and will not be tolerated at this institution.
IRB会议
Please note that not all proposals need to be reviewed during full board meetings. 请参阅有关资料 申请流程页面 and review procedures for details.
The IRB will meet monthly during the academic year. The IRB office remains open to handle questions and expedited or exempt proposals that do not require full board consideration, 也. If you are planning to submit something for full board review (prior to our meetings), it would be helpful to let us know by 电子邮件.
请注意: Our full board meeting agendas sometimes fill up a month in advance, so it is best to submit your proposal well in advance of the deadline and/or be in contact with us prior to the meeting or submission.

研讨会
The 澳门葡京博彩软件 IRB will provide educational workshops for groups of faculty, staff or students who want to learn more about the IRB review process and ask questions related to their planned research involving human subjects. If you are interested in this type of workshop, please contact the IRB协调员 or Nnamdi极, IRB的椅子.
Protocol Submission for Full Board Review
For studies with higher risks and/or which involve vulnerable populations:
It is always good to be in touch by 电子邮件 to let us know to expect research protocols that will likely need full IRB review. 一般, protocols requiring full board review need to be submitted at least a week before the full board meets.
