Research with Human Participants

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Lawrence Technological University was recently formed in response to federal requirements established by the Department of Health and Human Services.  Its main responsibility is to protect the rights and welfare of the human subjects participating in research conducted by faculty and staff of LTU, as well as monitoring research development, testing and evaluation.

The IRB is chaired by Mark Brucki, Director of Technology Partnerships, and comprised of an interdisciplinary team of faculty and staff.  The IRB is committed to maintaining the highest level of ethical standards to ensure protection of all human research subjects.
