    Institutional Review Board (IRB)

    The Institutional Review Board (IRB) reviews research proposals that involve human participants. Even projects that require minimal involvement of human participants, such as surveys or questionnaires, require some procedural IRB review. The IRB chair is Professor Scott Morris. He can be reached at morriss@iit.edu.

    Questions related to the IRB approval process can also be directed to Glenn Krell MPA, CRA, Executive Officer, phone: 312.567.7141, e-mail: irb@iit.edu.
