Human Subjects Protection
Texas A&M University-Commerce is committed to the protection of human subjects involved in research activities conduced by our faculty, staff or students.
Human Subjects research is defined as a systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalize knowledge, which involves the collection of data from or about living human beings. In addition, all student research involving human subjects outside the classroom is considered to be in this category. All research involving human subjects is required to be reviewed and approved by Texas A&M University-Commerce’s IRB prior to initiation of the research. This requirement applies to all human subjects research conducted by faculty, staff, and students, on- and off-campus, regardless of the funding support, if any, for the project.
