Attention all faculty, staff, and students:
SHSU has transitioned over to the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) for IRB, IACUC, and Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR).
Welcome
This site was developed as a resource for everyone involved with human subject research at Sam Houston State University. Whether you are a potential research participant, current research participant, investigator, administrator or interested community member, there is something here for you.
In conjunction with the federally mandated Institutional Review Board (IRB), the Protection of Human Subjects Committee (PHSC) works to assure the protection of human research participants and to ensure SHSU's compliance with the laws and regulations governing human subject research. Any human subject research conducted by SHSU faculty, staff or students must be reviewed and approved prior to being initiated. Also, any other party wishing to conduct research using SHSU employees or students as subjects must secure authorization prior to recruiting participants.
As you navigate the site, please note any suggestions you have for improving the site or its content. We are dedicated to making this an informative and effective resource for all users.
For you convenience, the following links have been included to facilitate navigation to each page within the IRB tab:
