IRB Approval
Institutional Review Board and University Approval for Research Activities: If your research requires approval, you must include the approval letter in an appendix in your document.
Protection of Human Subjects: The Institutional Review Board (IRB) must review all research projects involving the participation of human subjects or use of materials of human origin before the research can be conducted. This requirement includes all research, from low-risk investigations, such as surveying people on the street about their favorite television shows, to high-risk studies, such as clinical trials of experimental medical treatments.
