| IRB Updates |
IRB Review required for 1) Research: designed to contribute to generalizable knowledge (journals, conferences, dissertations, etc.) and 2) Human subjects: involves living human subjects involving a) intervention or interaction, b) identifiable private information Only faculty or staff can be PIs due to liability Two types of applications: 1) Minimal review (meets "exempt" criteria), 2) Expedited or Full review IRB doesn't request permission letters, just asks whether you've got them If getting funding, ask Boyd for which category of exemption applies "Just in time" IRB applications are okay; for example, If you won't pursue project if funding doesn't come through, you can just do a brief IRB submission to satisfy funder; just know no data collection can begin until approval IRB would like to see certificates of IRB training for all key personnel, if possible UNT Libraries have a good consent notice for online data collection It is acceptable to combine Consent Form with HIPAA authorization |
