If you’re doing a thesis as part of your ALM degree at Harvard Extension School, you may be planning to talk to or reach out to human subjects as part of that work – either via interviews or surveys or other forms of contact.
This work may be subject to review by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the Committee on the Use of Human Subjects, and it’s important to learn more about what is required of you as a student preparing to undertake this work.
Join us as Jonathan Girard, Assistant Director, and Kathryn Bean, IRB Administrator of the Harvard University Committee on the Use of Human Subjects, offer a concise and comprehensive overview of the policies governing research involving human subjects at Harvard and what you need to know about the IRB.
