Clarkson’s Sponsored Research Services writes to notify the Clarkson community of a change in our Institutional Review Board (IRB). The chair of the IRB is now Christina Xydias, Associate Professor of Political Science (cxydias@clarkson.edu). Our previous chair, Johndan Johnson-Eilola, Professor of Communication and Media, has moved into the role of assistant IRB chair.
The IRB has the mandate of protecting the rights and welfare of humans who participate in research. If you plan to collect, analyze, and/or publish (in any form) personal data on living individuals, including educational research on students in classes, you should work with us to ensure you are following federal guidelines for protection of these individuals and their data.
