Institutional Review Board (IRB)
About the IRB
The UIC IRBs review research proposals to ensure risks have been minimized and the potential for benefit has been maximized before human subjects participate in the research. The UIC IRBs also ensure, when required, that human subjects only volunteer to participate in research after providing legally effective informed consent. Ongoing oversight ensures that the conduct of the research maintains those subject protections at UIC, the Jesse Brown VAMC, and at other sites when negotiated through separate Assurances.
Finally, the UIC IRBs are responsible for the research use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI) at UIC. The IRBs review and approve authorization agreements, applications for the use or disclosure of limited or de-identified data sets, and applications for waiver of the authorization requirements.
