About us

Geisinger’s HRPP protects the rights and welfare of research participants and promotes excellence in all aspects of research with human participants. We advocate for these ideals for all Geisinger research participants.

HRPP integrates the activities and functions of Geisinger's Institutional Review Board (IRB), Office of Research Compliance (ORC), Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP), and other review units through oversight, education and quality assurance activities, including program administration. 

We promote high-quality, ethical research at Geisinger by:

  • Requiring IRB review and approval for all research with human participants conducted at Geisinger
  • Monitoring, evaluating and continually improving the protection of human research participants
  • Promoting compliance with relevant laws, regulations, institutional policies and professional and ethical standards
  • Responding directly to concerns of research participants
  • Addressing the needs and concerns of researchers in support of their endeavors
  • Educating investigators and research staff about their ethical responsibility to protect research participants
