Compliance with Regulations on the Use of Human Subjects

Oversight of human studies is provided by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, coordinated by Catherine Sutherland. All research studies involving human subjects must be reviewed by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.

 

Human subject research training must be completed prior to submitting an IRB application. This training must be renewed every three years. The IRB will require documentation that the training has been completed before approval of projects can be obtained. The Institute currently subscribes via MGH Research Administration to the Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) online program.
