The Purdue University Global (PG) Institutional Review Board (IRB) is committed to ensuring that all human subjects research conducted by faculty, staff, and students is carried out ethically and in compliance with regulatory standards. Our mission is to protect the rights, welfare, and privacy of all research participants while supporting investigators throughout the research process.

The PG IRB website serves as a centralized resource where researchers can determine the appropriate review pathway, access required forms and guidance, and navigate the IRB submission and approval process. Investigators new to the IRB process should begin by reviewing the “IRB Introduction” video below, then visit the Investigator Guide page for step-by-step instructions on preparing and submitting a proposal.
