Purpose:
Protection of human participants is of the utmost importance for practical and ethical reasons and in order to ensure the safe, ethical, and prescribed treatment of human subjects used in research, EWC shall maintain an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The creation of an IRB does not address all of researcher’s ethical issues and adherence to the ethical codes of conduct that govern scientific research in general (i.e., the principles set forth in the Belmont Report) and the basic DHHS policy for the protection of human research participants as specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 45, Part 46, Subpart A (also known as the Common Rule, 45 CFR 46) for professionalism and research at EWC
