Institutional Review Board: Member Handbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781284197143)

From new technology to the management of big data, and globalization of research, navigating the processes for preparing and conducting research studies involving human subjects is challenging and complicated. Designed to give Institutional Review Board (IRB) members the information they need to protect the rights and welfare of research subjects in a way that is both effective and efficient, the chapters of the Institutional Review Board: Member Handbook are short and to the point. Topic-specific chapters list the criteria IRB members should use to determine how to vote on specific kinds of studies and offer practical advice on what IRB members should do before and during full-committee meetings. The Fourth Edition includes the new federal guidelines for IRBs that went into effect in January 2019 and is an excellent accompaniment to Institutional Review Board: Management and Function, Third Edition (ISBN: 978-1-284-18115-9). The book has three sections: -Part 1: Preliminary Information contains background information on human subject research and a brief history of the IRB system -Part 2: The Full Committee IRB Meeting focuses on the research proposal review process -Part 3: Specific Topics covers advertising for research, conflict of interest, qualitative methods, informed consent, research involving children and prisoners, and deception of research subjects
