PAU faculty, staff, students or affiliates MUST seek IRB approval prior to engaging in the following research projects:
receiving archival data
collaborating with researchers at another institution who already have IRB approval
proposing original data collection.
For additional information, please refer to the remainder of our webpage inclusive of the IRB Standard Operating Procedures.
