Human Subjects Research

Research leads to an innovative understanding of our world and beyond – human subjects research is no exception. Not only are we dedicated to improving the lives in New Mexico, we are steadfast in protecting the rights, welfare, and well-being of every volunteer who participates in human subjects research at the Health Sciences.

Public Responsibility and Accountability

We are committed to ensuring that all of the human subjects research conducted by our investigators are done at the highest standards.

Our compliance statement Delegation of authority

I appreciate how quickly the Health Sciences IRB reviewed and approved our modification submission for a large federally-funded COVID-19 ECHO program with all nursing homes across the country. The HRPO's efficient support helps us meet a very aggressive timeline and, better yet, be able to serve nursing homes better.
