Because Ethics and Compliance Matter
Institutional Review Board (IRB)
The American InterContinental System (AIUS) has a standing committee known as the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB exists for the protection of human subjects and requires those students and faculty conducting research involving human subjects to submit their research proposals for review prior to data collection. Among others, the charge of the IRB is to ensure adherence to federal, state, and local regulations; as well as established ethical principles including respect for persons, beneficence, and justice, as enunciated by the Belmont Report and recognized by the U.S. Department of Health Sciences. The AIUS IRB is registered with the Department of Health and Human Services of the Federal Government (IORG0010545 and IORG00013557; FWA00029425 and FWA00032542).
