Human Subjects (IRB)

Welcome to the Human Subjects (IRB) web site. Please use the navigation on the right hand side of the page to locate the information you are looking for.

The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) is committed to protecting the rights and well-being of human subjects who choose to participate in biomedical or socio-behavioral research. As such, UTMB has an organized and systematic program in place for the protection of research subjects that includes a commitment to the principles and guidelines for protecting research subjects contained in the Belmont Report; respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. With respect to the Belmont principles, UTMB ensures that:

The sum of the benefits to the research subject and the importance of the knowledge to be gained so outweigh the risks to the subjects as to warrant a decision to allow the subject to accept these risks.
Legally effective informed consent is obtained, unless the requirements for waiver of informed consent are met by adequate and appropriate methods in accordance with the provisions of applicable regulations.
The selection of subjects is equitable and is representative of the group that will benefit from the research.

For required training visit our training page and link to CITI, Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative, the web-based training program in human subjects protections.
