Generally IRB is managed by "sponsored" research offices, and not
"institutional" research offices.

Subject: question re: IRB processes


Hi all --

I'm trying to develop some recommendations regarding Lakeland Community
College's policies on IRB matters (i.e., institutional review boards of
college
research).

How do those of you from two-year institutions handle institutional review
matters (e.g., human subjects issues, etc.)?  In particular, I'd appreciate
any
thoughts you might have on the following matters:

1.   Do you have an IRB process?  If so, what college department  is
responsible
for overseeing IRB issues?

2.   DOes institutional research play any role?

3.   And if you could give me a brief summary of your policies/procedures,
I'd
really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Eileen Doherty
Director, Research & Planning
