The Review Process
MissionTo protect the rights and welfare of research
subjects
Reviewers’ quandary: Will a change in the research protocol likely improve
the welfare of research subjects to a meaningful degree?
Criteria for IRB Approval
Introduction, specific aims, background Are the specific aims clearly specified? Are there adequate preliminary data to justify the research? Is there appropriate justification for this research?
Scientific design Is the scientific design adequately described and justified?
Criteria for IRB Approval – continued
Inclusion/exclusion criteria Are inclusion and exclusion criteria clearly specified and appropriate? If women, minorities, or children are included or excluded, is this
justified? Is the choice of subjects appropriate for the question being asked? Is subject selection equitable?
Recruitment of subjects Are the methods for recruiting potential subjects well defined? Is the individual performing the recruitment appropriate for the process? Are all recruitment materials submitted and appropriate?
Criteria for IRB Approval – continued
Research procedures Are the rationale and details of the research procedures accurately
described and acceptable? Are the individuals performing the procedures appropriately trained? Is
the location for the procedures acceptable? Are there adequate plans to inform subjects about specific research
results if necessary (e.g., clinically relevant results)?
Data analysis and statistical analysis Is the rationale for the proposed number of subjects reasonable? Are the plans for data and statistical analysis defined and justified?
Criteria for IRB Approval – continued
Potential risks, discomforts, and benefits for subjects Are the risks and benefits adequately identified, evaluated, and
described? Are the potential risks minimized and likelihood of benefits maximized? Is the risk/benefit ratio acceptable for proceeding with the research?
Compensation and costs for subjects Is the amount or type of compensation or reimbursement reasonable? Are there adequate provisions to avoid out-of-pocket expenses by the
research subject?
Criteria for IRB Approval – continued
Privacy and confidentiality Are there adequate provisions to protect the privacy and ensure the
confidentiality of the research subject? Are there adequate plans to store and code the data? Is the use of identifiers or links to identifiers necessary, and how is this
information protected?
