Institutional Review Board (IRB)

​
INURED's Institutional Review Board (IRB) is registered with the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) - making us just one of three Haiti-based institutions with the capacity to provide IRB services to researchers. The IRB committee ensures that all proposed research meets international ethical guidelines and protects the rights and welfare of human subjects in research.  Additionally, INURED's IRB provides Federal Wide Assurances (FWA) to other organizations that require proof of compliance  with human research protections but lack the resources to maintain an IRB. 

If you would like to submit your research to INURED's IRB, please contact us at [email protected]
