Does institutional research need IRB review?

Much research that is conducted by faculty or staff under the heading of institutional research does not require direct IRB review, because in most cases, such research meets the following conditions:

  • The research does not pose more than minimal risk to subjects;
  • No vulnerable populations are involved; and
  • There is no intention or expectation of disseminating the results of the research outside of the classroom or institutional setting.

However, if any of these three conditions are not met, IRB review is required.
