The vnsr威尼斯城官网登入大学 院校检讨委员会 (IRB) provides independent review of research proposals for the purpose of protecting the rights of human research participants.
我需要IRB批准吗?
The vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 IRB’s charge extends to activities that involve vnsr威尼斯城官网登入’s personnel and/or facilities in the conduct of research with human participants. 责任是明确的 在外面 联邦法规法典,标题 45,第46部分(45 CFR 46)).
Only activities that meet the definition of “research” are under IRB jurisdiction:
研究意味着系统的调查, 包括研究开发, 测试, 和评估, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge” (45 CFR 46.102
(l)
There is no need to get approval for classroom activities designed to improve one’s own classroom instruction, or the improvement of a program internal to vnsr威尼斯城官网登入, 或用于收集
data intended to illustrate the educational practices that we use. However if the research activity is meant to generate evidence to support generalizable claims (that is, 索赔是为了
apply to other situations) then it is research under this definition. In general if you publish or present your findings and use the term “research” in that publication or
你的作品需要IRB的批准.
Only research involving human participants is under IRB jurisdiction:
Research using nonhuman animals as participants must be conducted ethically, 当然, 但IRB在那里没有管辖权. IRB也没有管辖权
over the collection of data from existing sources such as historical records or public records. The IRB’s jurisdiction is for studies in which data are collected from human beings for
研究的目的.
Human Participant Research involving members of the vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 community is under vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 IRB jurisdiction.
This means that you should not pass along requests for participants from external researchers to your colleagues or students unless you have gotten approval from IRB优先.
审批类型
There are two slightly different processes for getting IRB approval for a study. Many studies can qualify for “Exempt” status, which means a simple process and somewhat relaxed
规则. Before you fill out any forms to apply for IRB approval, you should decide whether you want to apply for an Exemption. If your study does not qualify for Exempt status, you will follow
the other process, which asks a little more about how you intend to protect participants.
豁免裁定程序
If you believe that your study can qualify for Exempt status, complete and submit two forms:
将填妥的表格电邮至 irbchair@smhy2328.com. A reviewer will look over both forms to determine whether or not 这项研究 can be
granted Exempt status and either respond with an approval of that status, 请求获得更多关于这项研究的信息, or a list of changes that will need to be made to get approval for
这项研究.
Exempt status can be granted for certain studies that present no more than minimal risk, do not use participants who belong to a “vulnerable population,“不要接受联邦政府的援助
资金. The Exempt determination form explains those disqualifiers.
快速审批流程
If you believe that your study does not qualify for Exempt status, then the process to follow is for Expedited review. “Expedited” means that the review is conducted by just one
member of the IRB or by someone designated by the IRB to conduct such reviews. The review is “expedited” in the sense that it does not have to wait for a full IRB meeting and
由IRB全体成员考虑.
If you choose to apply for Expedited review, you will need to complete and submit two forms:
通过电子邮件提交表格至 irbchair@smhy2328.com. A reviewer will look over the forms and either respond with an approval letter, a request for more
information, or a list of changes that will need to be made in order to get approval for 这项研究.
Additional 研究人员资讯 External to vnsr威尼斯城官网登入
If you are a researcher with no vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 affiliation who wants to use members of the vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 community as participants in your research, there are some special considerations for you to be 意识到. vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 has a history of attracting research proposals aimed at understanding either our innovative educational practices or aspects of our status as a women’s college. 在 多年来, 我们欢迎这些建议, but we have to be guarded about both the amount of and the nature of external research done here. 我们还必须关注冲突 between research projects between research projects and our ongoing practices (educational and research).
结果是, we have taken the position that these proposals should go through a single channel at vnsr威尼斯城官网登入. If you want to conduct research using members of the vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 community as participants, please contact the Chair of the 院校检讨委员会 first at irbchair@smhy2328.com.
请不要直接招收阿尔弗诺学生, 教师, 或员工, or ask vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 教师 或员工 to recruit for you. Again, we are concerned about conflicts between activities and we are also concerned about excessive requests for the use of our community members’ time. We will try to accommodate your request, but may decide to deny your request even if your proposed study is valuable and appropriately protective of participants’ rights.
