IRB - what is it? - Answer Institutional Review Board
An IRB is a board of a group of scholars from various departments who are required to
review proposals in order to see if they meet ethical criteria and write a summary of
proposed risks to subjects.
What is the purpose of an IRB? - Answer They shall approve each proposal and certify
that the research will be conducted in accordance with the law and protect subjects
from harm.
What document outlines the federal governments ethical guidelines? - Answer Belmont
Report.
What are the three levels of IRB review?
What are the conditions for each level of review? Exempt Review- Only minimal risk
research may be classified as exempt. The federal regulations identify six categories of
research that are exempt from IRB review. The IRB does not formally "approve"
research that is classified as exempt, rather it makes a determination that the research
meets the criteria for at least one of the six exempt categories. Following the exempt
determination, the IRB office will then review the protocol for general issues of
confidentiality and data security, informed consent format, methodology of experimental
design, and ethical considerations. Expedited Review- Expedited review is the process
by which certain kinds of minimal risk research may be reviewed and approved without
convening a meeting of the full IRB.
Expedited reviews are not "quicker" or conducted with less rigor, but fewer reviewers
are required for approval. There are several types of research that may receive
expedited review. Typical expedited reviews are completed in 2-3 weeks from the time
the application is first received. However, applications which require heavy revision
may take longer to be approved by an expedited review. Full Review- Research that
presents more than minimal risk to research participants will be reviewed at a convened
meeting of the IRB. Three IRB meetings are scheduled during the fall and spring
, semesters; note that the IRB does not meet during the summer.
