The Human Participants Review Board (HPRB) at PLU ensures that all research conducted by students, faculty, staff, and administration is ethically sound and protects the rights and dignity of human participants.  This site provides information on how to apply for HPRB approval, including all necessary forms.  If you have any questions, please contact the current HPRB chair at hprb@plu.edu.
