Which entity is designated by an institution to ensure the protection of human subjects in biomedical research?

  1. Institutional Review Board

  2. Ethical Review Committee

  3. Research Oversight Board

  4. IRB

The correct answer is: IRB

"An IRB, or Institutional Review Board, is responsible for protecting the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in biomedical research. The other options, such as the Ethical Review Committee and the Research Oversight Board, may have similar roles in reviewing research studies, but they are not specific entities designated for protecting human subjects. These options may be used in other fields or industries, whereas IRBs are specifically designated for biomedical research."
