This week, in Chapter 10, we are talking about research design. The role of the Institutional Review Board plays a very big role in safeguarding the health and safety of the research subjects/participants. Go to ONE the following websites and let me know what you’ve learned and what questions you still have. If you find a research study where someone was injured and sued, bring that to our board as well. If you want to look at them all, that’s fine too 🙂 https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/center-drug-evaluation-and-research-cder/institutional-review-boards-irbs-and-protection-human-subjects-clinical-trials (Links to an external site.) https://about.citiprogram.org/en/course/irb-administration/ (Links to an external site.) https://www.apa.org/advocacy/research/defending-research/review-boards (Links to an external site.)
