An Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a committee established to review and approve research involving human subjects. The primary purpose of the IRB is to ensure that the rights, welfare, and privacy of participants are protected throughout the research process.

They are required for most research conducted at universities, hospitals, and other organizations that receive federal funding.
