The primary goal of the Cottage Health System Institutional Review Board (IRB) is to review research studies to ensure that the following parameters are met:

•  Risks to research subjects are minimized and reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits and/or the importance of knowledge that may reasonably be expected to result
•  Selection of subjects is equitable
•  Informed consent is obtained and documented
•  Data collection is monitored to ensure the safety of subjects
•  Adequate provisions are made to protect the privacy of subjects and maintain confidentiality of the data
•  Subjects are protected from coercion or undue influence.
