The IRB at Mercer University must review and approve research if it involves human subjects. This process is designed to ensure that the research protects the rights and welfare of human subjects, for example, by minimizing risks, selecting subject's equitably, obtaining informed consent, and ensuring privacy and confidentiality. IRB approval is valid for one year. If the research continues, the IRB must review and approve the study again prior to its expiration.
The investigator is required to notify the IRB if subjects experience: physical injury, unexpected or unexplained adverse events, improper disclosure of private information, economic loss, and other harmful or potentially harmful occurrences.
