California State University Fullerton (CSUF)
Institutional Review Board (“CSUF IRB”)
is a University committee appointed by the President
to review and safeguard the use of human participants in research
pursuant to Federal Code of Regulations (45 CFR 46).
CSUF receives federal funding and has agreed
to adhere to the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP)
regulations for use of human subjects in research and has
signed an assurance letter with the Department of Health and
Human Services that all CSUF protocols which involve human
subjects will be reviewed for compliance with these regulations
before each researcher collects data.
Research
means a systematic investigation, including research development,
testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute
to generalizable knowledge. Activities which meet this definition
constitute research for purposes of this policy, whether
or not they are conducted or supported under a program which
is considered research for other purposes. For example,
some demonstration and service programs may include research
activities. 45 CFR 46.102(d).
