Federal, state and university regulations require that the use of human
subjects in research be reviewed and approved by an IRB. At the UW, Human
Subjects Review Committees carry out this function. The Office
of Sponsored Programs, Human
Subjects Division provides administrative support for the Committees.
UW policy exists to protect the rights, well-being, and personal privacy
of individuals, to assure a favorable climate for the conduct of scientific
inquiry, and to protect the interests of the University of Washington
(found in University of Washington Handbook VOL. IV, Part II, Chapter
2, "Use Of Human Subjects").
