"The Institutional Review Board is an administrative body established to protect the rights and welfare of human research subjects recruited to participate in research activities conducted under the auspices of the institution with which it is affiliated" (DHHS, OPRR, Protecting Human Research Subjects: Institutional Review Board Guidebook).
Human subjects research is defined as any activity intended to obtain and record information from or about individuals for research purposes.
Policy and Procedures
In accordance with federal policy, Adelphi University established its Institutional Review Board (IRB) to protect the welfare of study participants. The IRB has the authority to approve, require modifications, or disapprove research activities that fall under federal regulations and local institutional policy.
It is Adelphi policy that all research conducted by faculty, administrators, undergraduate, and graduate students be reviewed by the IRB. This includes studies that make use of surveys, interviews, experimental designs that involve human subjects, and any research that involves children or other vulnerable populations such as the incarcerated or mentally impaired.
The IRB meets monthly except in January, June, and August. All IRB submissions are required to be submitted no later than the 15th of the month preceding the meeting. Please send 13 copies to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, Social Work Building, Room 116. The forms can be obtained from the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, from your faculty representative on the committee, or you can download them.

All Study protocols reviewed and approved by the Adelphi IRB are valid for one year, therefore, investigators must resubmit their protocols using the continuation form. In addition to continuation review, please use this form if your study will require modifications since its original approval.
