This includes review of any surveys or questionnaires to be used in a project. Federal regulations require local community involvement. Therefore, it is advisable that an IRB be established at the school level to evaluate human research projects. An IRB must consist of a minimum of three members including the following:. Additional Expertise: If an expert is not available in the immediate area, documented contact with an external expert is recommended.
A copy of all correspondence with the expert e. To avoid conflict of interest, no Adult Sponsor, parent or other relative of the student, the Qualified Scientist, or Designated Supervisor who oversees the project, may serve on the IRB reviewing that project. Additional members are recommended to help avoid a potential conflict of interest and to increase the expertise of the committee. Prisoner advocates must be included on the IRB when research participants are incarcerated. The institutional IRB must initially review and approve all proposed research conducted at or sponsored by that institution.
Public Health Service Policy. In addition, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research institutions that utilize research animals that are not covered by the Animal Welfare Act but have an operational Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and are in compliance with U. For projects conducted outside of the United States, a Regulated Research Institution would be a comparable research institution that adheres to country laws governing the care and use of vertebrate animals.
Certain areas of research conducted in a regulated research institution or an industrial setting require review and approval by federally mandated committees that have been established at that institution. What is the SRC? What is the IRB? What are the SRC guidelines and rules? Are there special rules for Model Rockets? Which additional forms are required for projects? How will I know when my project has been approved?
What if I need to make a significant change in my project after I have received SRC approval to begin? Why are we so strict about the forms and SRC approval? I plan to use a laser in my experiment. Do I need pre-approval?
Form 2 Qualified Scientist Required for any project involving humans, vertebrate animals, potentially hazardous biological agents and controlled substances. Form 3 Risk Assessment Required for any project using hazardous chemicals, activities or devices, and microorganisms that are exempt from pre-approval. Major Sponsor More Sponsors ». Form 1C. Form 2. Required for any project involving humans, vertebrate animals, potentially hazardous biological agents and controlled substances.
Review the abstract text and check boxes keeping the following questions in mind, and then review the information provided on each form to see if it answers the questions, has any inconsistencies, etc. Human Participants: Does the study mention people, interviews, responses, answers, consent, etc? All others require IRB preapproval. Animals: Look for indications of type of study and research site. Strictly observational studies with no interaction are exempt. Tissue studies in which the student is given the tissue and did not interact with the animal do not need animal forms but will still need preapproval as a PHBA tissue study.
Used terms like culturing, plating, tissue, source of tissue, etc. Is the terminology or equipment very sophisticated? Look for possible RRI. Form 1C. Does this appear to be a Continuation? Any mention of previous research? Uses terms like previously, earlier research, improved, redesigned, year 3, etc. Form 7. Any discussion of a Partner in a non-team study? Form 1C answers this question for studies done at a university.
Any possibly hazardous chemicals, activities, or devices? Includes high voltage, hazardous equipment, radioactivity, firearms, explosives, prescription drugs, DEA-controlled substances, alcohol and tobacco. Form 3. Form 1A contains this information. Checkbox 1. Requires preapproval and additional forms. Exempt studies do not check this box. Checkbox 3. Worked at RRI.
Requires 1C. Checkbox 4. Project is a continuation. The answers to this checklist need to be consistent with the answers on other forms.
Grade : Student must have been in high school at time of research in order to compete. Contact information : If questions cannot be resolved from the paperwork, it is sometimes necessary to contact the student or adult sponsor. This information should match the checkmarks on the abstract and on Form 1.
Student should have competed in the first fair which was held after the end date. Fair dates can be found in the Find-a-Fair search. Information regarding Research Site : This will tell you if you need additional paperwork. Review the research plan and post project summary to find information regarding each of the questions asked in previous section under Abstract.
This needs to be very detailed and must be consistent with the documentation found on all other forms. If more information is needed about the study, the student or adult sponsor may need to be contacted email, phone or interview. Must have preapproval and often will require written consents.
