Human Subjects

Institutional Review Board (IRB)

The Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects (CPHS) is the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the implementation of campus and federal policies to safeguard the rights and welfare of human subjects participating in research activities by the University or its affiliates. Frequently Asked Questions>

Any research conducted by Sacramento State faculty, staff, or students involving human subjects or any research related activity involving human subjects that utilizes Sacramento State time, facilities, resources and/or students must be reviewed by the CPHS to ensure compliance with applicable federal and campus policy. Policies and Procedures for the Protection of Human Subjects (PDF)

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
In accordance with federal regulations and campus policy, protocols for research involving human subjects must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects) prior to recruiting subjects and/or collecting data. Should you begin your work before receiving official IRB approval, you put your project in jeopardy and the use of any data collected will not be permitted.  In addition, you are exposing yourself and the University to potential liability even if an adverse event does not occur.  Any research involving human subjects that utilizes Sacramento State personnel, facilities, resources, and/or students is covered by these requirements.  Please email us at irb@csus.edu if you have any comments or questions.
