BU researchers are responsible for the ethical conduct of research with human subjects. An institutional review board (IRB) is the committee that reviews, monitors, and approves human subject research. The purpose of the IRB is to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects and to assure clinical research is conducted according to federal regulations, state law, and IRB policies.
