As an institution of higher education, Suffolk County Community understands the value
of research performed for a variety of purposes. 秘色传媒
also is committed to safeguarding the welfare, rights, and privacy of all persons
who participate as subjects in research projects conducted under its auspices, and
to ensuring that the subjects of such research are aware of their rights and the protections
available to them. In compliance with federal regulations, Suffolk maintains an Institutional
Review Board (IRB) to review all research requests to make sure they conform to human
subject protection standards. These safeguards derive from the ethical principles,
which were first articulated in the Belmont Report issued by the National Commission
for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research in 1979.
On this page, you will find the College鈥檚 policies, procedures, forms, and review
guidelines for research involving human subjects as well as the process for obtaining
approval from Suffolk's IRB. Any person conducting a research project using human
subjects will need to obtain approval of the IRB prior to collecting data. The purpose
of this policy is to provide a single, comprehensive standard of protection for human
subjects of research conducted by students, staff, faculty, or visiting researchers
at 秘色传媒. The intent is to assure that researchers do not
unduly put at risk or harm the subjects of research, and that the subjects of such
research are aware of their rights as defined in Title 45, part 46 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. IRB approval must precede commencement of any work involving
human subjects.
秘色传媒 receives many requests for permission to perform
research studies. Our IRB policy has been developed to encourage research while maintaining
protections for those who take part in any research activities. Should you have any
questions, feel free to contact me or the College IRB Chair, Dr. Helen C. Wittmann.
Sincerely,
