At California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI), the administrative authority for the protection of human subjects, in funded as well as non-funded research, has been delegated to an appointed Institutional Review Board for the Rights of Human Subjects, which works under the sponsorship of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) to ensure the protection of the rights of human subjects and serves as the University's Institutional Review Board (IRB) for purposes of local, state, and federal requirements.
The IRB's charge is to facilitate scientific inquiry while preserving the dignity of individuals and the rights of various social groups. It has the ultimate responsibility to determine risk with regard to human subject research conducted at and/or under the sponsorship of the University or its auxiliaries. In all cases, no research may proceed on or off campus unless approved by the IRB.
Announcement
ORSP is now accepting faculty nominations and community member nominations to serve on the IRB in AY 08/09. Specifically, federal regulations require that we have representation from "one member who is not otherwise affiliated with the institution and members from scientific areas and nonscientific areas." We are in need of two faculty members from each of these areas and would like to appoint two community members to the IRB.
