The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is holding an Open Forum on Friday, September 27th. This is an opportunity for Reed students, faculty, and staff to learn about the IRB review process.  The IRB reviews all research conducted on human subjects, including senior thesis projects. Topics covered during the open forum include the new categories of review, the online submission portal, and safety precautions for online data collection.

Date: Friday, September 27

Time: 2:30-3:30 pm

Location: Eliot 314

Applications for all categories of review except Full are accepted on a rolling basis, and the review process normally takes 1-3 weeks. Please build this time into your plans for research.

For thesis research: Please note that advisers must approve proposals before they are submitted to IRB. Students and faculty should begin working together as soon as possible.
