Human Participants
Psychology and Communication studies frequently use human participants as part of their research. At the University of Idaho all research involving human participants must be reviewed by the University of Idaho Institutional Review Board (IRB) and be carried out in accordance with University and Federal Regulations.
Please visit the Institutional Review Board website to learn more or email the IRB directly at irb@uidaho.edu.
