Welcome

Welcome to the website of the BSD/UCH Institutional Review Boards at the University of Chicago!  At this site you should be able to access all of the necessary reporting forms and guidelines, as well as links to other helpful sites and resources.

The BSD/UCH IRB is charged with the responsibility for review, approval and surveillance of all research involving human subjects carried out in the BSD and the University of Chicago Hospitals.  This review and surveillance is conducted to assure the protection of the rights and welfare of all research subjects, including volunteers and patients, as well as ensure compliance with regulations. We at the University of Chicago hope that you will find this site helpful in your efforts to conduct research in compliance with IRB policies and federal, state and local regulations.

Please check our site regularly for IRB news and updates which can be accessed via the links on the right side of this page.

We encourage you to contact us with any questions.
