March 6th, 2019
In light of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, and in order to sustain our research activities as efficiently as possible, the following guidelines are issued for the benefit of investigators and associated staff. Specific questions relating to IRB practices and procedures should be directed to your home institution’s IRB office.
On behalf of Georgetown University, the Institutional Review Board’s (IRB) primary role is to safeguard the rights and welfare of all human subjects who participate in research studies conducted by Georgetown. In compliance with Federal law and institutional policy, all research projects involving human subjects or human material must be reviewed and approved by the IRB. All biomedical, social and behavioral research projects conducted by the faculty, the staff and students of the University are subject to the Policies and Procedures of the Institutional Review Board.
The Georgetown University IRB has the authority to disapprove, modify, or approve protocols based upon consideration of human subject protection. It also requires progress reports from the investigators at least annually and oversees the conduct of the study.
The overall criteria for IRB approval are:
