Institutional Review

Board (IRB) Presentation


Purpose of the IRB
 Protect human subjects during research

 Definitions:
 Research: A systematic investigation designed to
develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge
 Human Subjects: Living individuals who
participate in research

If a project meets the definition of research with


human subjects, the project must be reviewed by the
IRB
The Tuskegee Study
The Belmont Report
 Created the basic ethical principles underlying
the acceptable conduct of research involving
human subjects
 3 Principles:
 Respect for Persons
 Beneficence
 Justice
Respect for Persons
 Involves recognition of the personal
dignity and autonomy of individuals,
and special protection of those persons
with diminished autonomy
 Informed Consent requires:
 Participants provided with sufficient
information about the research
 Participants comprehend the research and
study requirements
 Participation is voluntary
More on Informed Consent
 Essential components of informed consent are:
 The consent is given in the absence of
coercion
 The potential participant is provided with all
information (in language understandable to
him or her) relevant to making a meaningful
decision regarding participation
 The potential participant has decision-
making capacity needed to make a
meaningful choice about whether to
participate in the study.
Beneficence
 An obligation to protect persons from harm by assessing
the risks and benefits of the research, assuring the
anticipated benefits are greater than the risks.

Justice
 Fair or “just” selection of research subjects with regard to
the purpose and expected outcome of the research. The
population of subjects should be similar to those who may
benefit from the outcome of the research.
 Subject should not be chosen simply because they are
readily available or easily manipulated.
Risk
 RISK: The probability of harm or injury occurring
as a result of participation in a research study.
Harm can be physical, psychological, social,
or economic.

 MINIMAL RISK: A risk is minimal where the


probability of harm anticipated in the research is
not greater than ordinarily encountered in daily
life- or during the performance of routine physical
or psychological examinations or tests
Types of Applications
 Exempt (no risk)

 Expedited (no more than minimal risk)

 Full Board (more than minimal risk)

How to determine if it is HSR- submit a


HSR Determination form in IRBManager
LIU IRB
 Comprised of professors from LIU and
outside member
 Review and discuss human subject
research proposals
 Ensure rights of human subjects in
research are protected according to the
three principles of the Belmont Report
 Has authority to review, approve, require
mods, disapprove human subjects
research
Exempt Applications
 Research activities that involve no risk to human
subjects AND
 Fall into specific categories:
 Research conducted in established or commonly
accepted educational settings, involving normal
educational practices.
 Research using anonymous or no-risk tests, surveys,
interviews, or observations.
 Research involving the collection or study of existing
data if they are publically available or if subjects cannot
be identified.
 Research examining public benefit or service programs.
Examples of Exempt
Applications
 Having participants fill out a
questionnaire on quality of
life without obtaining any
identifying information
Expedited Applications
 Research activities that present no more than
minimal risk to human research participants
 In general, research may qualify for expedited review if
it is judged to involve only minimal risk, does not
include intentional deception, does not employ sensitive
populations or topics, and includes appropriate informed
consent procedures.
 For example, the collection of physical data through non-
invasive procedures is eligible for an expedited review,
including:
 Height and weight
 ECG, MRI, Ultrasound
 Moderate exercise
 Blood or other bodily fluids
Full Board Applications

 Involves more than minimal risk


 Involvesprotected subjects (e.g., children,
prisoners, individuals with disabilities)
 Involves procedures that are personally intrusive,
stressful, uses deception, or potentially traumatic

 Theseapplications are reviewed by the IRB


at a monthly scheduled meeting
Examples of Full Board
Applications
 Studyof incarcerated women’s
mental health (protected
population)

 Study of drug use among ER


nurses (could jeopardize
participants’ employment)
DECISION STATUS FOR
FULL REVIEW
CATEGORY
Approval
 Conditional approval – requires some minor
revisions- can be submitted via e mail to
administrator for final review and approval
 Deferred- requires major revisions and another
review by the board
 Denial
The ideal application…
 Has addressed each of the components
outlined on the application form – this is
essential!

 Hasbeen edited in its entirety for


grammar, typos, formatting issues, etc.

 Hasbeen reviewed by faculty sponsor


and department chair to ensure all
necessary information, documents,
materials, and signatures are included.
Common Challenges
 Items on the application, including the consent forms, are
not addressed.
Example: Noting in three different places, three different
numbers of participants

Example: Extent to which the participant is at risk is checked


“no” when there is risk.
*Talking about past suicidal thoughts in an interview
puts those participants at risk for triggering events.
IRBManager and CITI

WHEN DOES THE DOCTORAL STUDENT
APPLY FOR IRB APPROVAL AND HOW LONG
DOES IT TAKE TO GET IRB APPROVAL?

THE STUDENT SHOULD NOT APPLY FOR IRB


APPROVAL UNTIL SUCCESSFULLY PASSING THE
DISSERTATION PROPOSAL DEFENSE.
THE TIME IT TAKES FOR IRB APPROVAL DEPENDS
UPON THE NUMBER OF REQUESTS THEY HAVE
AND THE SCHEDULE OF IRB COMMITTEE
MEETINGS. THE IRB COMMITTEE MEETS ONCE PER
MONTH (SEPT-MAY) TO REVIEW ALL FULL BOARD
