MSU Privacy Board
The MSU Research Privacy Board was created to meet the requirements of the HIPAA Privacy Rule that became effective April 14, 2003. This Board reviews research projects that come under the HIPAA regulations and are submitted to any of the MSU Institutional Review Boards (BIRB, CRIRB or SIRB).
MSU Privacy Board Membership
The privacy board membership includes individuals with varying backgrounds necessary to review the effect of the research on an individual's privacy. At least one member must have a background / competency in biomedical research, at least one member must have a background / competency in statistics and/or epidemiology, at least one member must be knowledgeable of privacy regulations, and at least one member must be unaffiliated with MSU, IRB reliant institutions of MSU, or sponsors of MSU research. The Privacy Board members may be members of any of the MSU IRBs, employees or students of MSU, employees of IRB reliant institutions, or unaffiliated individuals. The MSU Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies appoints the chair and members for terms up to 3 years, renewable at the discretion of the Vice President.
