Abstract |
The Office of Human Research Ethics (OHRE) is responsible for ethical and regulatory
oversight of research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that involves
human subjects. The OHRE administers, supports, and guides the work of the Institutional
Review Boards (IRBs) and all related activities. Any research involving human subjects
proposed by faculty, staff, or students must be reviewed and approved by an IRB before
research may begin, and before related grants may be funded. OHRE and the IRBs are
components of the coordinated Human Research Protection Program, which serves to protect
the rights and welfare of human subjects. The records consist of committee and council
meeting minutes. Acquired as part of University Archives.
