  2. What is it? • Institutional Review Board • A board of reviewers who decides if your research should be allowed to be continued. • Consists of: At least 5 members, both sexes must be represented, varied professions, those with both scientific and nonscientific concerns, and at least one member not affiliated with the institution.

  3. Who is required to be certified? • Anyone who conducts research with human subjects must be approved by IRB • Research is defined as: a systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge • Human subjects are defined as: a living individual about whom an investigator ... conducting research obtains 1) data through intervention or interaction with the individual, or 2) identifiable private information. • (from http://www.etsu.edu/irb/irbfaq.htm ETSU IRB FAQ page)

  4. Why is IRB important? • The Belmont Report (1979) discusses the protection of human subjects in research, and is the foundation for institutional review boards. • Protects human subjects, the integrity of the institution, and yourself.
