Protection of the rights and well-being of human subjects involved in research is a concern of Villanova University (VU) and is mandated by specific provisions in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). As required by the federal regulations, the IRB was established at VU to assure protection of human subjects and to ensure compliance with the regulations.
The University’s IRB policies and procedures apply to any research activity which involves human subjects, whether such research is undertaken on a large or small scale, whether it is preliminary or fully designed, whether it is student or faculty research, whether it is funded or non-funded, and whether it involves minimal risk or more than minimal risk.
Please review our guidelines before submitting your protocol for review.
The VU IRB meets monthly to review protocols requiring full board review. Protocols eligible for expedited or exempt review are evaluated by the Departmental Reviewer (Emory Woodard) on a rolling basis.
