What is the IRB? The use of human subjects in Towson University faculty, staff or student research requires approval by the appropriate University review committee. This committee, the IRB, appointed by the President, is comprised of volunteers from Towson University's faculty and staff and at least one member of the community. The chair of Towson University's IRB is Dr. Patricia Alt, Professor of Health Science. The IRB is responsible to review and approve, require modifications in, or withhold approval of research involving human subjects, and ensure compliance with all governmental regulations with the use of human subjects. Approval of the IRB must be obtained PRIOR to the involvement of human subjects. Applicable federal regulations are detailed in Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 46. Questions? The Office of University Research Services is the first point of contact regarding human subjects research at or involving Towson University faculty, staff, or students. Phone: 410-704-2236, or email: mhealy@towson.edu.
