Overview

Oversight for human subjects research happening in the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is provided by a centralized NIH Institutional Review Board Office (IRBO) located within the Office of Human Subjects Research Protections (OHSRP). The OHSRP promotes the protection of rights, safety and welfare of human subjects, and the NIH’s research mandate.

The NIH IRB meets daily to process actions submitted to the IRB via iRIS (a protocol management system). Please direct all your questions regarding IRB submissions to Brenton Yanos (NHGRI Protocol Navigator).

This page is intended to provide NHGRI Principal Investigators and research teams with quick access to the most relevant information and points of contact for the IRBO and NIH iRIS system.
