Research
Projects

Human
Research
Require
HU-‐IRB
(Howard
University
Institutional
Review
Board)
Approval
The Howard University Office of Regulatory Research Compliance (ORRC) manages all human
participant research studies at Howard University and provides support to two Institutional Review
Boards (IRB): The Medical IRB and the Non-medical IRB. The ORRC maintains the University’s
IRB’s policies, guidelines, and procedures involving research with human participants. ORRC staff is
available to provide guidance and education on research involving human participants to the Howard
research community and the community at large.
The IRB has the sole authority to approve a research protocol that involves human subjects.
All research projects involving human subjects must have the approval of the IRB before it starts.
An “IRB approved protocol” Lists the Project Objectives, Protocol, Principal Investigator (PI),
Collaborators, Researchers, and Dates of Approved Research Project.
Please note, students cannot serve as principle investigators on any research project. However,
medical students can be placed on an IRB protocol when it is first created by the PI or added onto
existing approved IRB protocols via an amended process by the PI. PIs can amend their IRB
protocols by submitting the students’ CV, CITI certification, and described role on the project to the
IRB.
The ORRC staff is available to assist with any questions, concerns, and needs regarding human
research studies. Please contact them at (202) 865-8597 or theorrc@howard.edu. Also please see the

44rd Annual Eastern-Atlantic Student Research Forum, Feb. 20-23, 2018
The Eastern-Atlantic Student Research Forum (ESRF) is a four-day international symposium held at
the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine (UMMSM) in Miami, Florida. Each
year, ESRF selects medical, graduate, M.D./Ph.D. students, and resident physicians from the United
States, Canada, Europe, Central and South Americas to present original basic science and clinical
research in multiple biomedical fields. In addition to formal presentations, the forum includes the
informal exchange of scientific ideas among students and faculty preceptors, the encouragement of
student-initiated research, and the professional development of future leaders in biomedical research.
The meetings dates for this year are Feb. 22-25, 2017 in Miami, FL.
Abstracts are accepted until November 30, 2017.
