The development of IRB: 1979 The Belmot Report: The Ehical FOundation 1. In 1953, was the First US Federal Criteria we used for getting approval and informed consent for participants to be involved in research projects Policy for protection of human Respect for persons subjects. (created mechanism for Objectives: prospective review of proposed People are autonomous agents( individuals with diminished autonomy are entitled to protection) research. Be able to discuss: 3 elements of the informed consent process a. Forerunner to the IRB model Human rights research The human rights abuses in Thourohgness: enough information for them to understand Doesn't matter how thorough it is if they don't get it research 2. IRB Exist because in the past, They have to understand/ comprehension participation is voluntary and can stop at any time researchers would use underserved or the development of institutional people to be taken advantage for research, Vulnerable populations are due extra protection (extra steps need to be taken for people who don't have the ability to comprehend) review boards (IRB) didn't have the option, wasn't voluntary, and beneficience :Overall doing good or more good than harm and characteristics of human rights the people were exploited. research Steps to ensure well being of participants Nazi Medical war crimes 1946 Know the steps to make an IRB Study is designed according to principles Syphyllis study at Tuskegee 1932- submission 1972 Benefits are maximzed Know the Kettering Health IRB Process Jewish Hospital Cancer Study 1963 Determining that the study has a maximization of benefits and a minimization of risks.

Identify the type of project you have Identify the type of project you plan to do a. QP/ EBP All projects will need a Cayuse account for electronic submission (kettering health) b. Research Link to request form: Request for Cayuse Access OR 2. Creat CITI Account and request a Cayuse Account Contact IRB Coordinators for an account or if having access issues a. Complete required CITI modules and COI disclosure in Cayuse Non-Research projects – do not need to complete a Conflict of Interest (COI) Disclosure (in Cayuse) or CITI training b. Set up a project master file in modules We do cayuse Research projects – will need to complete a COI Disclosure 3. Complete Cayuse SUbmission Smart (in Cayuse) and CITI modules Form PI is responsible to ensure all study team members have a. Answwer questions on submission completed CITI training and COI disclosure form relevant to your project, sections may change based on answers to questions 4. Advisor (or PI) certifies and then is submitted to the IRB a. Look for email communication form Cayuse or coordinatir with instructions or determination b. respond to any requests for changes or additional information 5. Conduct study/project After final determination is issued a. Follow approved protocol b. Use approved/ stamped consent and/ or Hippa forms 6. Notify IRB if a change will be needed to project a. Submit closure report when project is completed (research studies only)
