Institutional Review Board

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is the administrative body that supports, facilitates and promotes the ethical conduct of research involving human participants at Farmingdale State College-SUNY (FSC). Our mission is to protect the rights and welfare of human research participants. No involvement of human participants in research, including recruitment, is permitted until the IRB has reviewed and approved the research protocol.

The IRB offers services in support of research and compliance with Federal, State, and Institutional regulations governing human participant protections including:

Review of Research
Individualized Research Protocol Development Meetings
Workshops and Events
On-Line Training

FSC Students, Faculty, and Staff: Please visit the IRB web page via myFSC (ARIES) for additional comprehensive information.
