We are committed to the conduct of high-quality research to meet the needs and interests of the academy, the College, and the community. The IRB are committed to protecting the welfare of every person who may be involved in research. In addition to our mandated review functions, the IRB also serves as an educational resource for the MassBay community.

MassBay has provided a formal guarantee to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) that it will follow established procedures to assure the protection of human subjects in research. This guarantee applies to all research conducted on the premises of the College or research using College resources and to all research conducted elsewhere by faculty, students, staff, or other representatives of the College.
To comply with this assurance, MassBay has established an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to review research projects that involve human subjects. In this role, the IRB can be held accountable to various regulatory agencies and may be audited to ensure that procedures and decisions conform to regulatory standards.
