The NPS IRB has jurisdiction over all research involving human subjects. A human subject is a living individual about whom an investigator conducting research obtains (1) data through intervention or interaction with the individual, or (2) identifiable private information. No human subject research in any form can take place without proper review and approval by the NPS IRB and NPS President. The NPS IRB is authorized to review, recommend approval to the NPS President, require modifications in, or withhold approval or suspend approval of research involving human participants. For a list of specific human research protection instructions and regulations reference NAVPGSCOL Instruction 3900.4A (authentication required).
