About the Institutional Review Board
IRB Overview Statement
The Institutional Review Board (hereafter referred to as the IRB) at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, Inc. (hereafter referred to as TMH) was established in accordance with Federal regulations pertaining to the Protection of Human Subjects under the National Research Act of 1974, Title 21 CFR Parts 50, 54 and 56, and Title 45 CFR Part 46 (as amended).
The primary goal of the IRB is to assure that the rights and welfare of the human subjects involved in research at TMH are adequately protected and that human subjects are not exposed to inappropriate risks. To achieve this goal, the IRB will:
i. Review all planned research involving human subjects prior to initiation of the research
ii. Approve research that meets established criteria for protection of human subjects as well as their private health information, to the extent possible
iii. Monitor approved research to ensure that human subjects have given informed consent to participate in the research and that human subjects remain protected during the course of the study.
