Welcome

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is designed to review, approve initiation of, and conduct periodic review of all research projects involving human subjects conducted by The University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) faculty, students, or staff (including collaborative projects with other institutions and agencies).  Before submitting a project for review, investigators are urged to read The Handbook for Ensuring Protection of Human Research Subjects [in pdf].
