Policy on Protection of Human Subjects
I. Purpose of the Policy
This policy's purpose is to protect human subjects of original research conducted either at Middlebury College or by an employee or student of Middlebury College. It is intended to assure that subjects of research are aware of their rights and protections.
Although these policies are influenced by the guidelines of numerous federal regulatory agencies, the Middlebury College Institutional Review Board (IRB) ultimately is the agency for their creation and oversight.
Middlebury College applies a single, comprehensive standard to original research as defined in section III.
