Ethics and the IRB

  • Chapter
  • 603 Accesses

Abstract

IRB permission is required for most research with people, including research regulated by the FDA or funded by the NIH. Typically, the scientist or scholar submits a proposal; the IRB approves it, rejects it, or returns it with instructions for changes. Most IRBs are situated in hospitals, government agencies, and institutions of learning (including universities, medical schools, and research institutes); the rest are independent, either nonprofit or for profit. All follow the same rules.
