Re: IRB question

[David Wasieleski]

Our university does require IRB approval for student research in courses. Primarily their projects meet criteria for expedited review, but the logjam at the IRB has led them to consider having a departmental-level IRB to handle such projects (as long as they in fact meet criteria for an expedited review). To my knowledge APA has not specifically addressed this question, but it does stand to reason that all research projects utilizing human subjects would be subject to the same guidelines, regardless of the educational level of the researcher.

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,
