Basic Information about Review Process and Deadlines
IRB Review
Only RESEARCH involving HUMAN SUBJECTS must be reviewed by the IRB. If you are not sure if your project meets the definition of research or involves human subjects, click here for more information. In addition, federal guidelines allow studies to be reviewed at different levels depending on the risks and population of subjects involved. If you are unsure what level of review your study needs, more information can be found by clicking here
Multiple IRBs Some studies are conducted at locations other than TWU and require IRB approval at the research site as well as from TWU. If your study involves more than one IRB visit this website to review the various processes.
Campus IRBs TWU has established an IRB for each campus (Denton, Dallas, and Houston). Use the links below to view the committee membership for each campus as well as the deadline and meeting dates for each campus.
