Human Subjects

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Stockton and Sacramento Faculty

The University of the Pacific Institutional Review Board (IRB) is moving towards electronic submission of all protocol. It is preferred that protocol be signed and scanned as PDF documents, and then emailed to the IRB Administrator. This supercedes any instructions in the IRB manual about submission of paper copies.

We would like remind you about requirements of faculty and students who conduct research with human subjects at the University of the Pacific. These regulations follow the standards set out in the Code of Federal Regulations, 45 CFR 46. Click here to read notice.

Training

As of August 25, 2003 Pacific requires Human Subjects Training for all individuals on the Stockton and Sacramento campuses who wish to use Human Subjects in their projects. Additionally, the Health Information Privacy and Accountability Act has created requirements for those working with human subjects.

You can receive training through an on-line tutorial* offered by the National Institutes of Health.

There will also be training offered on the Stockton campus during the academic year which can be taken in lieu of the above tutorial. Watch this site for upcoming training dates.

*When you complete the tutorial, print off the certificate they provide and attach it to your Human Subjects Review Form. (At this time, we do not require that you re-take the training if you use human subjects again in the future.)
