Does your research involve human subjects?

If so, please check with the appropriate institutional review board to see if your research requires IRB approval before you begin. (Link to the Social Sciences Institutional Review Board [SSIRB])

What is the difference between Class Related Instruction Assignments and Research Projects at UMKC that involve “Human subjects?”

Read the IRB Statement here.

To comply with the US Department of Health and Human Service's regulations for human experimentation surveillance, the University of Missouri-Kansas City has the responsibility for reviewing all proposed projects and campus activities involving human subjects. Protocols must be submitted to, and approved by, the appropriate Institutional Review Board before a study is undertaken.
