The Human Research Protections Committee
reviews research proposals to ensure compliance with federal
and state regulations concerning use of humans as research
subjects. Committee members include an Associate Dean of the
College and faculty members as well as the Director of the
Student Health Service and a community representative. This
committee serves as Pomona College’s Institutional Review
Board for all research involving human subjects on Pomona’s
campus or sponsored by Pomona College. Researchers who plan
research involving a human subject are required to submit
their research protocol to the Pomona IRB for review.
Associate
Dean Cynthia Selassie is the chair of the IRB. Notify her at
an early stage in your project about the need for an IRB
review. Not all research involving human subjects requires
full review by an IRB, and, under federal regulations, some
research may be exempt, but this determination should be
made by the IRB, not the individual researcher.
