About the IRB
Protecting participants while enabling responsible research.
Welcome to the William V.S. Tubman University Institutional Review Board (IRB) Portal. The IRB serves individuals, researchers, and institutions engaged in research involving human participants in Liberia.
Guided by the core principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice, our mission is to facilitate ethically responsible research that protects the rights, safety, and welfare of research participants.
This online portal is designed to provide a streamlined, transparent, and secure workflow for researchers to submit their protocol applications, request amendments, track reviews, and securely communicate with the IRB Secretariat.

How It Works
