Human Subjects Research (IRB)
Human Subjects Research (IRB)
The CSU Monterey Bay's Institutional Review Board (IRB) is responsible for the review and authorization of research involving the use of humans or their personally identifiable private information for research purposes.
The IRB is administered collaboratively by research compliance staff and the IRB members, under the Federal-wide Assurance Institutional Officers which include the Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs.

The CSUMB IRB has moved to Cayuse effective June 2, 2025! CSUMB students will need to request access to utilize Cayuse. Please utilize this form and allow up to 5 business days for processing.
