Study Notes
Students in Research: IRB Approval
- Studies collecting identifiable information about living individuals require IRB review and approval.
- Research using data collected for internal purposes that doesn't identify individuals typically does not need IRB approval.
- Publicly available census data from the years 1890-1910 does not require IRB review.
Survey Research Exemption
- Research involving surveys that do not collect identifiable information qualifies for a determination for exemption under Category 2.
- Exemptions pertain to educational tests, surveys, interviews, or public behavior observations unless they identify human subjects or pose risk to participants.
Types of IRB Review
- Exempt research requires a formal determination by an IRB member, not self-determination by researchers.
- Expedited and convened reviews require full IRB approval prior to conducting research.
Institutional Review Board (IRB) Responsibilities
- IRB is responsible for protecting the rights and welfare of human subjects in research.
- IRB ensures compliance with institutional policies and federal regulations regarding human subjects research.
- IRB reviews recruitment materials and strategies but does not review manuscripts or investigate misconduct.
Convened Review for Sensitive Research
- Research involving interviews where identifiers are collected and may impact subjects’ careers necessitates a convened review.
- The IRB's careful analysis is vital in this context to uphold ethical standards.
Parental Rights under PPRA
- The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) gives parents control over their child's participation in third-party surveys and instructional materials developed by researchers.
- PPRA does not address opt-outs for health education, which might fall under state laws.
Disclosure of Student Information
- Schools can disclose directory information without parental consent, including a student's name, address, and awards.
- Parents must be notified of their rights regarding directory information to opt-out of disclosures.
Governing Laws for Academic Records
- The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) governs how researchers obtain data about students' disciplinary statuses, requiring parental permission for access to academic records.
- Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment regulates types of questions allowed in surveys involving minors.
Federal Regulations Governing School Research
- Research in public schools is governed by FERPA, PPRA, and Subpart D of relevant federal regulations.
- Each law addresses different aspects of student privacy and the research process in educational settings.
Application of PPRA in Private Schools
- PPRA applies to research in private schools only if it is directly funded by the Department of Education, regardless of risk levels associated with the research.
