Introduction

The UTSA Institutional Review Board (IRB) - Human Subject Research is a university standing committee that reviews and approves human subject research for the purpose of protecting the rights and welfare of those subjects. The IRB operates under a Federalwide Assurance (FWA) with the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) under the Department of Health and Human Services.

The University of Texas at San Antonio is committed to the principles of the Belmont Report. These principles consist of respect for persons, beneficence and justice. These principles guide the review of research with human subjects at UTSA. The Belmont Report can be found at: http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/guidance/belmont.htm
