East Texas A&M University is committed to the protection of human subjects involved in research and other scholarly activities conducted by our faculty, staff or students.
Human Subjects
Human subjects research and other scholarly activities are defined as systematic investigations designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge, which involves the collection of data from or about living human beings. Additionally, all student research activities involving human subjects outside the classroom are considered to fall under this category. All research and other scholarly activities involving human subjects are required to be reviewed and approved by East Texas A&M University's Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to initiation of data collection. This requirement applies to all human subjects research and other scholarly activities conducted by faculty, staff, and students, both on- and off-campus, regardless of the funding source, if any, for the project.
Research Training
East Texas A&M requires all individuals conducting or participating in research projects or working on externally funded projects to complete training for Responsible Conduct in Research. This requirement is met by successfully completing online training modules from the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) website.
IRB Meeting Schedule
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) convenes monthly via Zoom, during which time the committee reviews new protocols, renewals and amendments.
