Welcome to the Institutional Review Board - IRB,
At the German Jordanian University, the IRB is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of integrity and ethics in scientific research. Grounded in the principles of the Helsinki Declaration, we ensure that all research involving human participants prioritizes respect, safety, and the rights of individuals. Therefore, the IRB application should be filled in and approved before the study begins.
The Helsinki Declaration, a cornerstone of ethical research worldwide, emphasizes the protection of human dignity, autonomy, and well-being in all scientific endeavors. Our commitment includes:
- Respect for Individuals: Ensuring voluntary, informed consent from all participants.
- Beneficence and Non-Maleficence: Maximizing benefits while minimizing potential harm.
- Transparency: Upholding honesty and full disclosure in research processes and outcomes.
- Justice: Guaranteeing fair treatment and equitable access to the benefits of research.
Through these principles, we strive to foster innovation while maintaining ethical responsibility, ensuring that research conducted at our university contributes to society in meaningful and respectful ways.
