Institutional Review Board (IRB)
An Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a committee established by federally supported institutions to review research protocols for potential ethical problems. It must consist of at least five individuals with diverse backgrounds, including scientists, nonscientists, members of different professions, men, women, and at least one person unaffiliated with the institution. The IRB ensures that research risks are minimized, benefits outweigh risks, procedures are fair, and the informed consent process is adequate.
