UCF's Institutional Review Board consists of a committee established to advocate for the protection of the rights and welfare of human participants involved in research.
Biographies for members of the UCF IRB can be accessed here.
UCF's IRB exists pursuant to Federal Regulations. UCF has additionally completed assurance agreements with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Human Research Protection, to describe the institutions’ human subjects program and assure compliance with federal regulations for human subject protection.
45 CFR 46.112 covers research on human subjects and defines research (broadly) as any "systematic investigation... designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge" (e.g., a study that will be published, presented at a conference, copied and placed in the library, etc.).
In addition, students (and their parents, if the student is under 18) have certain rights under FERPA, a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.
To undertake research at UCF, CITI training is required.
