In general, a human subject is a living individual about whom an investigator conducting research obtains (1) data through intervention or interaction with the individual or (2) identifiable private information.

See About the IRB for more information on Human Subject Research and the role of the OHSU IRB and Joining the IRB for more information about IRB membership.
