My favorite recent story about IOD (IRB Overreach Disorder): Last year, Emory's IRB informed one of our psychology graduate students that she needed to change the font on her participant recruitment sheet because it was too large, and hence too "coercive" to potential participants.

These organizations are sustained by more and more regulations. They ignore the interests of investigators and essentially treat investigators like they are all intent on harming subjects. It is a real "them vs us" attitude and there is essentially no check on their behavior. If there is one thing that the Republicans got right is that when you create regulations, you great and industry and special interest that feeds off supporting them. http://www.primr.org/ http://www.aahrpp.org/ Mike Williams On 3/7/13 12:00 AM, Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) digest wrote: > Subject: AAUP recommends more researcher autonomy in IRB reform | Inside > Higher Ed > From: Christopher Green<[email protected]> > Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2013 09:02:04 -0500 > X-Message-Number: 1 > > A very interesting development in the history of the IRB. > http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/03/06/aaup-recommends-more-researcher-autonomy-irb-reform > > Chris > --- > Christopher D.
