Institutional Review Board Administration/Human Research Protections The work of reviewing submissions involving human subjects is divided among 8 Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). IRBs 1-5 & 7 review biomedical research. IRB 8 reviews behavioral and social sciences research. IRB 6 serves Pennsylvania Hospital. All inquiries specific to a submission should be directed to the Administrative Assistant or IRB Administrator of the relevant IRB. Researchers may use BEN Reports to identify the status of a protocol submitted for IRB review.
