Institutional Research Board

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a committee that reviews all LaGrange College (LC) research involving human participants and is responsible to the President.  The purpose of the IRB is to assure that research is conducted in an ethical manner.  This includes ensuring that risks to participants are minimized, the selection of participants is equitable, and participants are informed fully of what their participation will entail.

             This policy on the use of human participants in research applies to any activity deemed to be research at LaGrange College.  The applicability of this policy is to all entities of the College:  faculty, administration, staff, students, and contracted consultants.  This policy applies to any research activity using human participants that is directly or indirectly supported by the College.
