Seeking IRB Approval

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) of FSW reviews all human subject research activities conducted at FSW to ensure that the proper precautions are taken into consideration to ensure the safety and welfare of the subjects and preserve the rights of those subjects. Human subjects research may not be conducted at FSW without IRB approval.

To seek IRB approval, complete the IRB Application Form linked here. If you are a Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) on a project involving another institution and wish to cede IRB oversight to that institution, please complete this Institutional Authorization Agreement (IAA) form (PDF) and email it to FSW's Human Subjects Administrator, Dr. Joseph van Gaalen (jfvangaalen@fsw.edu).
