太平洋的IRB
In accordance with 联邦 regulations, Pacific assumes the responsibility for the protection of the rights and welfare of 人类被试 who participate in 研究 conducted by, 或在…的监督下, 太平洋学院, staff or 学生 at any of the camp使用, 其他学术网站, 或校外. 除了, Pacific IRB is responsible for reviewing protocols for 研究 项目 conducted on any of the three camp使用 by individuals unaffiliated with Pacific. To conduct this responsibility effectively, Pacific upholds the IRB standards for all three camp使用, which is the governance body authorized and competent to review 研究 and 研究 methods, training and other activity protocols involving 人类被试 and to evaluate both risk and protection against risk for those individuals. The IRB serves all 太平洋学院, staff and 学生, regardless of location.
Determining Whether the Project Needs to be Reviewed by the IRB
所有 研究 项目, 不管有没有资金, directed or co-directed by the University's faculty, 学生, 或者工作人员 人类被试 participate, are subject to the 联邦 regulations governing such 研究. Pacific IRB 使用 the 联邦 criteria at 45 CFR 46 to determine what requires IRB review. 因此, the first question we ask is does the project meet the definition of human subject 研究.
研究: 系统的调查, 包括研究开发, 测试与评估, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. The general rule is that if there is any element of 研究 in an activity, that activity should undergo IRB review to ensure the protection of 人类被试. For example, some demonstration and service programs may include 研究 activities.
人类的主题: Living individuals about whom an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting 研究: (i) obtains information or biospecimens through intervention or interaction with the individual, 并使用, 研究,or 分析 the information or biospecimens; or (ii) obtains, 使用, 研究, 分析, or generates identifiable private information or identifiable biospecimens. (45 CFR§102(d)(1))

Human Subject 研究 Training
It is Pacific policy that each individual conducting 研究, collecting information/biospecimens/data, 在研究实验室工作, 招聘对象, or serving on a thesis/dissertation committee with 人类被试 be trained in 人类被试 研究 history, 道德原则, 联邦, 州和地方法规, and general institutional review board procedures. This means any individual working as an assistant on a project who will be handling information/biospecimens/data or working in a 研究 lab must also be trained as well as any faculty serving as a thesis/dissertation committee member when the student is doing 研究 involving 人类被试. It is preferred that all faculty who teach 研究 methods courses involving 人类被试 also keep current with training and incorporate 太平洋的IRB procedures and review timeline in class discussions. Note that there are required modules within the course, and several optional modules. The IRB reserves the right to request any 研究er to take one or more of the optional modules, if the IRB feels that the module is pertinent to the 研究er's project.
