3.1.5 Compliance with Regulations on the Use of Human Subjects
Oversight of human studies is provided by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Mass General Brigham (MGB). All research studies involving human subjects must be reviewed by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of MGB or the equivalent at their own institutions where the research is conducted.
Human subject research training must be completed prior to submitting an IRB application. This training must be renewed every three years. The IRB will require documentation that the training has been completed before approval of projects can be obtained. The Institute currently subscribes via MGH Research Administration to the Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) online program.
