Montana Tribal IRB Contacts
Institutional review boards are crucial to ensure the protection of all subjects involved in research projects. When doing research that involves tribal members or reservation land, the project must be revived by the local tribal IRB. These are typically done through the local college. UM may also do a preliminary or duel review alongside the tribal IRB if requested or if a previous agreement with the tribal IRB is in effect.
See the UM IRB guidelines for more details and to find UM's IRB contacts.
