- Textbook: Chapter 1, 2
- File: IRB Form and IRB Consent Form (in Course Document )
- Link (video): How is research made safe?
- Minimum of 3 outside resources
Introduction
This assignment is meant to take you through the last step in your research project before you start collecting your data. For this project, you will be filling out an Institutional Review Board (IRB) form that we have. Most universities and colleges have a group of individuals that look over research before it is allowed to proceed. This helps to ensure that research is being done in an ethical manner. This form gives a lot of information to the IRB so they can make a decision about the research being conducted. Please note that your projects will NOT be reviewed by the IRB but by your instructor for the class. In class, work does not need to be review by the IRB but this step is still being done to ensure the efficacy and quality of your project.
Activity Instructions
The first step in this assignment is to download the IRB forms from the Course Document . Next, take your time and fill out the information that the document requests. I have included a few prompts to help you with what is requested. Some of the questions will not pertain to what you are doing in your research but I have left them in so you can get a sense of what is usually asked when filling out the IRB form. Every project using human participants must also use a consent form. The template for the consent form should be downloaded from the Course Document and everything that is highlighted should be replaced with information about your study. Once finished, upload the finished IRB forms with your name included in the file name.
