Human Participants and Institutional Review Board (IRB)

Granite State College staff, faculty, and students may conduct research or inquiries that involve human participants. If a systematic investigation to collect and report information about living individuals is conducted through the use of an interview, survey, observation or experimentation, or if records previously collected from individuals is to be used, a GSC Institutional Review Board (IRB) review is necessary. All research involving human participants must be reviewed and approved according to GSC Institutional Review Board (IRB) guidelines before researchers begin collecting data. For detailed instructions, please click one of the links below to download the Guidelines for Protection of Human Participants in Research.

Policy

Granite State College is committed to the protection of the rights and welfare of the participants in research investigations conducted under the jurisdiction of the College. Granite State College believes that review independent of the investigator is necessary to safeguard the rights and welfare of human participants. All research involving human participants is conducted in accordance with federal regulations, including Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 46 (45 CFR 46). The review process is outlined in the Granite State College Guidelines for the Protection of Human Participants in Research and Guidelines for Learners. These guidelines apply to any student, faculty, or staff who conducts research with human participants under the auspices of the College.
