Welcome to the Institutional Research Board (IRB) Web site. IRB ensures compliance with National Louis University’s policies and procedures for conducting ethical research involving human participants. Every research investigator involved in any aspect of human subject research at NLU must submit a protocol to IRB that includes appropriate application forms, and informed consent documents. This applies to faculty and staff, doctoral students, masters students conducting thesis research or large action research projects. Students conducting research as part of a class, and faculty and staff collecting institutional data for self study and accreditation are not required to submit a protocol.
