Human Subjects

The College has established policies on the use of human subjects in all Simmons-initiated research and training projects.  The Institutional Review Board (IRB) monitors the use of human subjects. Students undertaking research projects that propose to use humans must notify their program directors and the IRB before their projects may begin.  The contact for the IRB is the Office of Sponsored Programs, MCB, Room W-204, 617-521-2415.

A copy of the Simmons College human subjects research policy and IRB forms may be found on the Office of Sponsored Programs Web page at http://my.simmons.edu/services/gsp/irb.shtml .  It is expected that all members of the Simmons community will fulfill their legal and ethical responsibilities to ensure that the rights and safety of human subjects are protected.
