Research Grant Handbook
Institutional Review Board (IRB)
NTU IRB is established to meet the international standards and expectation in order to protect human subjects involved in research projects as well as to support the researchers and protect the standing of the institution. NTU-IRB will conduct ethical review on all research proposals involving human research participants or human biological materials. The setting up of NTU-IRB is not to hinder research but to promote ethical research. Usually funding agencies will only release funds to PIs for research when the research proposal is given the clearance on ethics issues, by IRB. Also many scientific journals will only publish research manuscripts if the research proposal has been reviewed and approved by IRB.
There are 3 types of reviews;
- Exempted from full IRB review
- Expedited review
- Full review
Please visit NTU IRB website for updated forms and guidelines.
