Upstate IRB

Upstate has one internal IRB, appointed by the Institutional Official (IO). The IRB is responsible for the protection of the rights and welfare of human research subjects, through review and oversight of safe and ethical research. It discharges this duty by complying with the requirements of federal and state regulations, the FWA, and organizational policies.
Upstate Medical University uses IRBNet for the electronic administration and management of its IRB. All projects must be submitted via IRBNet. All instructions, templates, and forms are available in the IRBNet library.
