a. Exempt-- does
not require committee review (usually educational research,
or interview/survey research with no more than minimal risk to the subject).
If a proposal is determined to be exempt, it is reviewed by one person. These proposals will
generally require 1 week for the final disposition. b. Expedited-- requires a subcommittee of the IRB for review, but does not go to full committee review. These proposals will require 2-3 weeks for the final disposition. List of Expedited Research Categories c. Full Committee review--proposals must be reviewed by the full committee (projects not falling into the above categories, generally projects with more than minimal risk to participants). The disposition of these proposals will be decided on the day of the meeting. Please note that a researcher may not unilaterally make a decision that his/her proposal is exempt from IRB review. Please submit a human subjects' application or consult with the Research Compliance Coordinator or Human Subjects Committee Chair prior to initiating any research that may involve human subjects.
For more information on human subjects review, please visit the Office of Human Research Protections Human Subject Regulations Decision Charts at: http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/guidance/decisioncharts.htm It is important that on Consent Forms and/or Information Sheets -- the subject be provided with information on contacting the investigator(s) should they have any questions prior to or following their participation. E-mail addresses or office phone numbers are acceptable. Additionally, the contact information for the SDSU Research Compliance Coordinator should also be included, should the subject have questions about the conduct of the project. In-class research, such as activities carried out in research methods classes are generally not reviewed. You do NOT need to submit a proposal if the research project is for a class assignment and the results are meant strictly for evaluation and not for publication or presentation outside the classroom setting. |
