Projects for which IRB Review is Not Required

Under certain conditions, classroom-based research projects and quality improvement/quality assurance (QI/QA) projects undertaken by EWU faculty, staff, and student employees do not require review and approval by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for Human Subjects Research. These projects are reviewed by the Office of Institutional Research. For more information please visit https://inside.ewu.edu/institutional-research/toolkits/qi-qa/.
