Human Subjects and IRB: Overview

Stevens is committed to the pursuit of excellence in teaching, research and public service.  Concomitantly, the university seeks to protect the welfare of each person who may be involved in research and training projects in accordance with the federal regulation, 45 CFR 46 and ethical principles established by the Belmont Report.
