Does Your Project Require IRB Review?

The IRB must review and approve any research activity that meets the definitions of both “research” and “human subjects.” Not all projects meet both definitions. This interactive decision tool can help you confirm whether your study meets these definitions. Contact the IRB at irbadmin@colorado.edu or (303) 735-3702 if you have questions or if you need a formal determination from the IRB.
