What we do
We protect the rights and welfare of human research participants and provide oversight for Institutional Review Board (IRB) policies and procedures. We are accredited by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs.
Our Federalwide Assurance number is 00002876 and is set to expire August 3, 2031. We have two IRBs linked to the assurance; our main roster (IRB00000731) and prisoner roster (IRB00009014). If you are needing an official assurance letter, please email muresearchirb@missouri.edu for a copy.
We communicate primarily through our listserv. Researchers are automatically added to the appropriate listserv account when they initially log into eCompliance.
IRB meetings
IRB meetings are the second Wednesday of each month. Deadline to submit human subjects research applications, amendments and annual updates for full board review is the 25th of each month. There are no deadlines for exempt or expedited submissions if it’s determined that a full board review is not required.
