Document Summary
Institutional approval: institutional animal care and use committee (iacuc) Reviews research protocols (detail all aspects of the research, including the type of participants you propose to use and the procedures that will be employed in conducting the study) for studies using nonhuman animals. Reviews research protocols for studies using human participants. Particularly difficult decisions to make when a procedure involves the potential for harm, i. e. administering an experimental drug. Irb must carefully consider the potential benefits that might accrue from the study relative to the risks to the participants. Men and research-oriented individuals who worked in the basic areas were more likely to approve research proposals than were women and individuals who worker in service- oriented contexts and were employed in applied areas. Conducting research without such approval can cause investigators and their institutions to be severely reprimanded and jeopardize the possibility of receiving public health.
