Supports the IRBs operated by UT Health San Antonio.
The Office of the Institutional Review Board (OIRB) is an administrative support office for the UT Health San Antonio Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). An IRB is a federally-mandated committee that serves to protect the rights and welfare of human research subjects. The IRB reviews all research projects conducted by agents of UT Health San Antonio that involve humans, identifiable data about or biospecimens from living humans prior to the commencement of the research study. The UT Health San Antonio IRBs are accredited by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs, Inc. (AAHRPP). Services the OIRB provides to researchers include:
