The CBC Institutional Review Board (IRB) exists to review all research that directly or indirectly involves human participants as study subjects, and to develop institutional policies to oversee such research. Our primary role is to ensure the protection of human participants as subjects of research at CBC. 


To submit your IRB request, please fill out the form entitled “CBC IRB Application Form” and submit it to the IRB Chair, Dr. Jarod Bleibdrey, at jbleibdrey@coastalbend.edu and follow the directions on the "CBC IRB Researcher Checklist."

This will be reviewed and you will be contacted regardless of the determination about IRB review.

If you have any questions, please contact us at jbleibdrey@coastalbend.edu.
