What is PAU’s Institutional Review Board?
Palo Alto University's (PAU) Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a committee responsible for reviewing research proposals to ensure they adhere to ethical standards and safeguard the rights and welfare of human participants involved in studies. The IRB evaluates research protocols to ensure that risks are minimized and that participants provide informed consent. The IRB is a critical component of PAU's commitment to ethical research practices.
For more detailed information, including specific guidelines and procedures, you can refer to the IRB Handbook.
