The Rules of Engagement
The decision about whether IRB review is required is not always clear-cut in multi-site research. Often, multi-site research involves both institutions that are conducting human subjects research (are “engaged”), and institutions that are not conducting human subjects research (are “not engaged”). Institutions that are “not engaged” generally do not require IRB oversight. This month’s CR TIMES Feature Article describes the criteria for engagement, and provides examples to help illustrate when IRB review is or is not required.
