We would like to personally welcome you to the Office of Human Research Protection website. Our goals are to balance the protection of human subjects with the need to move research forward, and to promote and maintain an open and cooperative relationship with the research community. With that being said, research cannot move forward without your participation and it is our utmost concern that the rights, welfare and safety of all participants are protected.

We are in the process of developing a comprehensive participant outreach program. This website will be utilized as a tool to post information regarding participants' rights as well as educational opportunities regarding participation in research. Please check the website periodically for upcoming news and educational opportunities.

Any contributions and/or feedback would be greatly appreciated as we are continuing to improve our Human Research Protection Program. If you have any questions and/or concerns regarding your research participation, please contact the University Research Compliance Officer at 504-988-1147 or via email: adorsey@tulane.edu.

We look forward to working with you.

The IRB TEAM!!!!
