SIU School of Medicine IRB (Institutional Review Board)

Overview

The SIU Medicine IRB (Institutional Review Board) is responsible for reviewing proposed research that includes humans as subjects. This includes any study that is: (1) sponsored by Southern Illinois University School of Medicine; (2) conducted in any school of medicine facility; or (3) conducted by school of medicine faculty, staff, residents, or medical students. Research to be performed by a community-based investigator and/or research to be conducted in any school of medicine affiliated hospitals or sites may also be reviewed by the IRB with the appropriate authorization agreements.

Goal 3 of the School of Medicine's 2020 to 2025 Strategic Plan is to Advance Research and Scholarship. SIU Medicine IRB is committed to facilitating all research endeavors to ensure we are doing our part to help to meet this goal.
