A Human Use Review Board (also known as an Institutional Review Board or IRB) is a committee responsible for reviewing and approving research involving human subjects to ensure ethical standards and participant safety.

A Human Use Review Board (also known as an Institutional Review Board or IRB) is a committee responsible for reviewing and approving research involving human subjects to ensure ethical standards and participant safety. These boards are a direct consequence of past abuses in human experimentation, such as those seen in Project MKUltra and Nazi medical experiments.1

In the context of the Stargate Project, the remote viewing program was categorized as Human Use Experimentation, requiring the establishment of a Human Use Review Board within the U.S. Army to oversee its activities. This ensured that participants provided informed consent and that the research adhered to ethical guidelines.1
