Institutional Review Board

What is the Institutional Review Board? 

Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) or research ethics committees conduct periodic reviews of human subjects research to ensure participants are protected and proposals meet ethical acceptability standards for human research. 

If you are unsure if your project requires IRB review, submit an inquiry to IRB@stockton.edu.

The internal IRB submission system is in the process of being phased out. Dates to be aware of:

February 1 2024 Investigators and Graduate Students may opt to utilize the new IRB system in our pilot program for Exempt and Expedited protocol submissions

July 1 2024 Internal IRB submission system will be set to a read only status, investigators are recommended to back up their materials to upload into the new submission system for ongoing projects. 

July 1 2024 Full review items must be submitted into the new submission system.

Contact the IRB Administrator at britny.dileo@stockton.edu to support your transition.
