Institutional Review Board
The JAX IRB is responsible for protecting the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in research activities being conducted under its authority. The IRB adheres to federal regulations for the protection of human subjects as codified in 45 CFR 46. The IRB is supported by the JAX Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) and operates in accordance with HRPP/IRB Policies and Procedures.
