Federal regulations require all research projects involving human subjects to be reviewed 和 approved by a qualified Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB provides oversight of all scholarly research activities involving human subjects to ensure that ethical st和ards are followed 和 that the rights, welfare 和 well-being of participants are protected. This is outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (45 CFR Part 46, subparts A-D) for the protection of human subjects in biomedical 和 social-behavioral research, 和 in accordance with institutional policy 和 procedures. This includes any research involving human subjects, conducted under the auspices of AACC, in which the principal investigator intends to present or publish findings outside of AACC to contribute to a larger body of generalizable knowledge.
IRB review may not be required for research conducted for internal assessment purposes 和/or to fulfill state or federal requirements unless the intent includes publishing findings to a broader audience beyond AACC.
All research involving AACC faculty, students or staff requiring IRB review must receive IRB approval prior to the initiation of the proposed research study. This includes research proposed by third parties such as individuals 和/or institutional review boards outside of AACC.
