They are insured and operate in accordance with research standards established by the National Institute of Health and the Food and Drug Administration.

Heartland Institutional Review Board specializes in social science and education research as well as program evaluation protocols for grant-funded projects. The reviewers are experts in both quantitative and qualitative research tools and experienced in all aspects of education, social science, workforce training/education, rehabilitation, health, kinesiology, social work, psychology, business, technology, and program evaluation.
