About Lavar Green-Jackson and the IRB

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is part of the University of Michigan Office of Research. IRBs are mandated by the federal government to review human research protocols to determine that the research follows federal regulations and is being done ethically.

During Lavar’s On-the-Road consultations, he answers questions from researchers about the IRB application process including time frames for review, correction, and approval, as well as technical questions about eResearch, the online tool used to create IRB applications. Lavar can also provide information about amending approved applications and about required continuing reviews.
