The Samuel Merritt College Institutional Review Board (IRB) reviews research projects to ensure that two broad standards are upheld: first, that subjects are not placed at undue risk; and second, that they give uncoerced, informed consent to their participation. With representation from a wide range of scientific disciplines and from outside the academic community, the IRB gives timely but individualized attention to the numerous research projects at the College.
