Institutional Review Board

IIPS-IRB is chaired by an outside expert and members from different disciplines, like medical sciences, legal expert, social activists, community representatives and representatives of non-government organizations. All the research projects of the Institute or outside organizations having Institute’s faculty as research partner, involving human subjects are reviewed and approved.
