The Institutional Review Board (IRB) at California State University, East Bay, provides an important function; that of safeguarding the health of human subjects in research projects. The IRB depends upon a group of faculty and community members who volunteer their time in this effort. Their service and dedication to the protection of human subjects is extremely important work.
At this time, the CSUEB IRB is requesting applicants for two vacant positions. If you are interested in serving on the IRB, please contact Tina Avilla at christine.avilla@csueastbay.edu.
Thank you for your consideration.

CSUEB now has a policy that permits compensation in the form of an incentive for participants in human subjects research. Research participant incentives may be paid to current CSUEB students and people that are non-CSUEB students or employees. CSUEB employees may not be paid a research participant incentive. Student incentives are paid in the form of a credit of a student's University Student Account. Incentives for people that are not CSUEB students and employees may be paid in the form of a gift card. More information about human subjects research participant incentives can be found on the ORSP Policies Website.
The impact of the current COVID-19 event on humans subjects research may be significant. Please click here for a memo from past-IRB Chair Kevin Brown regarding human subjects research.
