Faculty and students doing research may be required to submit to a review process that will ensure the best data, safety for participating subjects, and best research practices. The Institutional Review Board has a procedure in place for submitting and reviewing research projects.
The Cabrini College Institutional Review Board (IRB) has seven members, including the Chair, with varying professional and academic backgrounds to promote complete and adequate review of research activities commonly conducted by members of the institution. Specifically, the purpose of the Institutional Review Board is to determine whether:
- procedures of proposed research will minimize risk to subjects
- risk to subjects are reasonable in relation to expected benefits
- selection of subjects is equitable
- informed consent is sought
- research plan makes adequate provision for monitoring data collected so as to ensure safety of subjects, protection of privacy, and the confidentiality of data
- appropriate safeguards are included to protect the rights and welfare of subjects
- confidentiality of subjects is maintained
- research studies have safeguards to protect the safety of the campus community
