IRB question

[psantoro]

Hello TIPS members, The following question came up in my department and I was wondering how other departments handle this issue. Currently, student research projects conducted in classes for instructional purposes do not need IRB approval. The question is, do these projects need IRB approval if the student wants to present the research at our department's annual research symposium? We have been informed by the IRB that approval is now required, since the symposium is a public forum outside the confines of a classroom. Do you know of any APA guidelines that address this issue? I know that IRB issues have been discussed in this forum in the past, so my apologies if this question has been raised before.   Thanks, Pat Santoro Frostburg State University   --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
