Certification for Researchers
The Institutional Research Board (IRB) reviews and approves all research activities involving human subjects at Bellevue College. If you are conducting research, you may not solicit subject participation or begin data collection until your research has received written approval from the IRB.
The IRB is composed primarily of faculty members, administrators and a member from the community. The human subjects review process is administered through the Office of Effectiveness and Strategic Planning.
