Institutional Review Board (IRB)

The primary purpose of the AW IRB is to ensure the protection of the rights and safety of patients who participate in research at Ascension Wisconsin.

All research involving human subjects that is conducted at or sponsored by Ascension Wisconsin, whether conducted by Ascension Wisconsin associates or others and regardless of funding, must comply with applicable policies for the protection of human subjects, including review by the AW IRB.
