NHGRI Institutional Review Board
Overview
The NHGRI Institutional Review Board (IRB) is one of several IRBs that reviews research conducted in the NIH Intramural Research Program. The IRB's mission is to protect the rights and welfare of individual subjects and to ensure programmatic compliance with Federal, State and Institutional regulations. The IRB carries out its mission by reviewing, approving and monitoring all human subjects' research within our Institutes' Intramural Research Programs.
The NHGRI IRB was established and functions in accord with the NIH Federal-wide Assurance, FWA00005897 [ohsr.od.nih.gov]. It is guided by the NIH OHSR IRB standard operating procedures [ohsr.od.nih.gov].
