NOTE: As of April 25, 2012, any new research proposals that involve physiological change will be subject to extra external scrutiny, pending a full review of human subjects research.

Buena Vista University’s Review Board (IRB/IACUC) is now reviewing both human subject and vertebrate animal research proposals. During this interim period, please forward all requests for proposal forms to the committee chair, Dr. Stephanie Hays, at hays@bvu.edu.

The Review Board is committed to safeguarding and respecting the rights and welfare of human subjects and vertebrate animals involved in research.
