Institutional Review Board (IRB)

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) aims at protecting the rights and welfare of human research subjects recruited to participate in research conducted at KHCC. It primarily accomplishes this by reviewing proposals for research and determining the level of risk.

All research activity involving human subjects (direct interaction/intervention or indirect through medical data, material) conducted at, by  or under the auspice of KHCC, whether funded or not and whether conducted by administrators, faculty, staff, or students, must be prospectively reviewed and approved by the IRB before the research begins.

The IRB has the authority to approve, require modifications, or disapprove all research activities that fall within its jurisdiction as specified by local institutional policy.
