Do practice improvement projects need to be reviewed by the IRB?

Practice improvement projects (PIPs) do require review from the IRB unless the project meets all three of the following conditions:

  1. The project involves minimal risk to subjects;
  2. It does not involve vulnerable populations;
  3. Results will never be distributed outside the classroom and/or institutional setting.

If there is even a remote chance that the data, the report, or the manuscript will be used in the future for a conference presentation or a related research project, the research should go through IRB review. This includes dissemination on the Internet in any form.
