Institutional Review Board
The focus of my research is on the factors which can inhibit the development of at-risk youth in urban locations. Understandably, research performed upon children is always of particular concern for institutional review boards. The three generally-accepted levels for institutional review boards are exempt, expedited, and full review status ("IRB," 2014). For research conducted on children, however beneficial to the child's well-being, a full review is required given that the study is being performed on minors. Greater scrutiny is required, regardless of the type of research. "Ethical standards are critically important when conducting research with young children and other vulnerable populations. Some key points are: research procedures must never harm children, physically or psychologically" and "children and their families have the right to full information about the research in which they may participate, including possible risks and benefits" ("Ethical standards for research," 2014). Children must be informed of the purpose of the research in which they are participating in ways they can understand ("Ethical standards for research," 2014).
The most obvious examples of ethically problematic research on minors are medical or psychological interventions upon very vulnerable young populations. My population is vulnerable socio-economically. However, I will not be performing any experiments 'on' the population per se. Ethical questions also arise when one segment of a population is given a potentially positive intervention...
Particularly in the case of students, where developmental milestones are critical and interventions can have a significant impact upon intellectual growth and development, ethical questions might arise in the case of a classic experimental design. My research is descriptive in nature, however, and does not demand such an intervention.
My qualitative approach raises fewer potential ethical objections given I will be focusing on a select population and merely asking them to speak about their experiences. However, there are still ethical issues regarding confidentiality. Students' identities must be concealed for ethical reasons and also so they can speak freely. Parental consent is necessitated for all minority-age children. There should be an adult present in the room (either a parent or a school administrator) not connected to the research study whenever the child is being interviewed. However, students should have control over who is in the room: for example, they might not feel comfortable speaking about their reluctance to do their homework in front of a…

The most obvious benefit is that participants will approach the use of technology more thoughtfully in their practice -- and potentially change some of their technology-dependent behaviors and resistance to technology. b.

Ethics The Institutional Review Board (IRB) was created to protect human rights in research studies. Prior to the creation of ethical standards in research individual rights were frequently violated without consequence for such actions. Extreme examples of ethical violations include the experiments conducted on individuals during the Nazi Concentration Camps and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. In both cases individuals were inflicted with significant harm without knowledge of the study or willing
IRB An Institutional Review Board (IRB) can assist a graduate student in ensuring that his or her project is one that is viable and reasonable. The IRB is used in a variety of situations but overwhelmingly it is used to confirm, justify and provide support to those students seeking a higher degree than what can normally be considered the already fantastic achievement of graduating from college. Throughout the student's university career,
In contrast, within the firm, the entrepreneur directs production and coordinates without intervention of a price mechanism; but, if production is regulated by price movements, production could be carried on without any organization at all, well might we ask, why is there any organization?" (Coase, 1937, p. 387) In simpler words if markets are so efficient why do firms exist? Coase explains, "the operation of a market costs something
Institutional Review Boards What is an IRB? IRBs (institutional review boards) were convened to oversee research in organizations receiving federal funds and created to protect human participants from research that is risky, harmful, or does not respect the rights and dignity of human beings (Royse, 2010). Identify the three types of IRB review. The three types of IRB review are exempt, expedited, or full review. If you were to create a plan to evaluate a
Institutional Review Board Responsibilities at Study Initiation Responsibilities of the IRB in the initiation of the trial IRB is charged with the responsibility of protecting the safety and rights of participants in the clinical trial (Woodin and Schneider, 2008). Some IRB responsibilities like a trial investigator, monitoring, auditing research records and research participant education are likely to be shifted to special units under the Human Research Protection program (HRPP). Such responsibilities promote
