Ethical Research Review Board - ERRB
What is the ERRB?

The Ethical Research Review Board (ERRB) is a committee at College of the Atlantic (COA) serves to promote ethical research in all kinds of work in Human Ecology at COA as well as to insure, specifically, that research on human subjects at COA conforms with federal law by upholding the following two standards :
1. Human subjects should not be placed at undue risk;
2. Subjects should give uncoerced, informed consent to their participation in the research.
The Board's mandate is provided by a policy passed by the COA All College Meeting in March of 2007.
Its current members include: Nancy Andrews, Mary Cline, Gray Cox (chair), Kevin Hastings, Ken Hill, Todd Little-Siebold, and Nishi Rajakaruna.
This website provides information for you to answer the following questions:
