CITI TRAINING QUIZ 2025
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Identify one way faculty researchers can possibly avoid undue influence of student
subjects? - ....ANSWER ...-Avoid recruiting their own students in the research
By recruiting students from other classes, faculty researchers can minimize the potential
of undue influence. Students from the faculty's own classroom may feel coerced to
participate.
Which type of IRB review does not require an IRB approval but does require a
determination by an individual designated with that task (such as an IRB member or
experienced staff person)? - ....ANSWER ...-Exempt
Exempt research is human subjects research that is "exempt" from the Common Rule
provisions. Per federal guidance, the recommendation is that researchers should not be
able to self-determine whether a study qualifies for exemption. Institutional policy
should clearly designate who is responsible for making exemption determinations - and
it could be an IRB member or experienced staff person with knowledge of the exemption
categories and the research activity. Expedited and convened reviews both require IRB
approval.
