What is an Institutional Review Board (IRB)?
At some point the “IRB” is mentioned during this podcast. So what is an IRB? Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are responsible for protecting people participating in studies by reviewing how studies are planned and executed to help ensure that participants are not exposed to unreasonable risk. Research involving people must be approved by an IRB before they start. Click here to learn more about UCSF’s IRB.
