My research might involve human subjects, laboratory animals, or biohazards (e.g., recombinant DNA). What is the procedure for getting approval to do this?
?} In each case, there is a committee that would review an application that you would submit through ORS, namely the Institutional Review Board (IRB), Institutional Animal and Use Committee (IACUC), or Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), respectively. For human subjects use, the relevant forms and information are found at http://www.luc.edu/ors/irb_XIX.shtml. For laboratory animal use, the petition forms are found at http://www.luc.edu/ors/iacuc_g.shtml. And for biohazards the relevant form and information are found at http://www.luc.edu/ors/ibc_appguide.shtml. If your research involves radiation-producing devices or radioactive materials, you would need to submit an application form to the Radiation Safety Committee (see http://www.luc.edu/ors/radsafetyhome.shtml).
