What is an IRB? - Institutional Review Board
An IRB consists of a group of scholars from various departments who are mandated to review
proposals to ensure that they comply with ethical guidelines and write a summary of proposed risks
to subjects.
What is the purpose of an IRB? - They must 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? - 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. After the exempt determination, the IRB office will then evaluate the protocol for general
confidentiality and data security issues, informed consent format, experimental design methodology,
and ethical considerations.
Expedited Review- Expedited review is a process by which certain types 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 that
require heavy revision may take longer to be approved by an expedited review.
Full Review- Research that poses greater than minimal risk to research participants will be reviewed
at a convened meeting of the IRB. Three IRB meetings are scheduled in the fall and spring semesters;
note that the IRB does not meet during the summer.
