McNeese State University established a Human Subjects Institutional Review Board (HSIRB) in compliance with the Protection of Human Subjects Code of Federal Regulations (45 CFR 46). The HSIRB ensures that all human subjects used in research, training, experimentation, or instruction at McNeese State University are afforded the rights and protection from risk guaranteed by 45 CFR 46.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McNeese State University\u2019s HSIRB assures that research involving human subjects is done ethically. To this end, the principles and applications discussed in The Belmont Report: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research<\/span><\/em><\/a> (The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research, April 18, 1979) are applied to guide researchers in formulating informed consent, assessing risks and benefits, and selecting subjects. The principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice will prevail in HSIRB reviews of research involving human subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All individuals conducting research involving human subjects must have their proposed research studies reviewed. Any McNeese State University faculty member, unclassified staff person, or other personnel performing, advising, or supervising research involving human subjects must comply with all McNeese State University HSIRB requirements and ensure that the students involved comply with the same requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The responsibilities of the HSIRB are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The functions of the HSIRB are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All researchers involved in research with human subjects must complete a CITI Program training module about human subjects protection, either \u201cBiomedical Comprehensive\u201d or \u201cSocial\/Behavior\/Educational Comprehensive\u201d depending on the discipline of the research. After completing the module, researchers can download a certificate of completion to submit with an HSIRB application. This certificate constitutes adequate documentation of training in the protection of human research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The HSIRB has a procedural manual that lists in detail the various review processes. The manual can be found in the Graduate School SharePoint<\/a>. Any revisions made to the procedural manual are approved by the HSIRB members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If an individual or group from another institution requests to conduct research on McNeese State University faculty, staff, and\/or students, they must submit their request and the institutional research board approval documentation from their institution to the executive director of the Dor\u00e9 School of Graduate Studies at irbchair@mcneese.edu<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This policy is distributed via the University Policies webpage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","policy_types":[21],"class_list":["post-5289","ie_policy","type-ie_policy","status-publish","hentry","policy_types-research"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mcneese.edu\/policy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ie_policy\/5289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mcneese.edu\/policy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ie_policy"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mcneese.edu\/policy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ie_policy"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.mcneese.edu\/policy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ie_policy\/5289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17485,"href":"https:\/\/www.mcneese.edu\/policy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ie_policy\/5289\/revisions\/17485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mcneese.edu\/policy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"policy_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mcneese.edu\/policy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/policy_types?post=5289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Authority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
