Institutional Review Board Reflection

Improved Essays
Because I am working with humans, I need full permission from the institutional review board to carry out my study. The institutional review board will inform me if my experiment is appropriate to continue, which may take up to a month to confirm. If my experiment does not pass the IRB, additional time for my experiment will be necessary to make proper and efficient adjustments. Each sample group is on the East Coast, however we do intend to travel to the location each research team is assigned too. Geographically, the sample groups are close and easy to communicate with through phones and emails. Participation is voluntary, which may complicate how we get the students and patients to partake in the experiment. Additionally, my research

    The use of biological human tissue is directed by various legal regulations. Understanding these rules and how to obtain meaningful informed consent is essential for researchers and laboratorians to maximize the tissue’s potential for research, to respect the patients’ and subjects’ participation while avoiding lawsuits and destruction to valuable specimens. Regarding laws and regulations (Drabiak-Syed 2010), the Common Rule, included in the Code of Federal Regulations, establishes protection for human research participants and require the researchers to obtain informed consent to collect and use human tissues from donors after clearly explaining what and how the tissues will be used. The IRB (Institutional Review Board) will review and determine if the research met specific guidelines, such as minimizing risk and increasing benefits to subjects, ensuring the subject’s healthy status physically and mentally to give consent, and informing…

    Institutional Review Boards (IRB) are set in place to help regulate anthropological research as a way to protect the cultures and lives of the people that are the subjects. The intentions of these boards are set in place for a great reason. The issue lies in how the IRB’s have the ability to inhibit in depth research or even renders research already completed to be completely useless if it is deemed unethical or unauthorized. Institutional Review Boards often impede on the freedom of anthropologists that would otherwise make important discoveries. Because of this, I think that researches should be allowed a wider range of freedom than they currently are.…

    The debate on the importance of Liberal Arts is dear to my heart because of the impact my high school Humanities class had on me. Because of this, I had no difficulty forming an opinion in the debate and seeing the flaws in arguments against Liberal Arts. However, analyzing the flaws in an argument I agree with was harder than expected, but with the use of rhetorical analysis I was able to see the strong and weak points in the article. This allowed me to create a strong response that portrays my opinion in relation to the article’s arguments. Peer review was helpful because the process brought to light multiple grammar issues.…

    The experiment consists of two parts. First, we need to randomly select children from low income families and randomly assign them into two groups: A and B, recording their fitness like BMI data. Second, we have to manipulate one and the only one independent variable which is the presence versus the absence of exercise and measure the dependent variable which is the children’s BMI data. To be specific, we keep one group of children do exercise every day and another group be more sedentary as well as control all other conditions or variables equal. Also, to avoid the experimenter expectancy effect and the placebo effect, we should let other researchers assign the groups without knowing which one is the experimental group or control group by ourselves.…

    Medical innovation has involved contributions from many different types of participants and sources. Many times, the participants were not compensated for their participation in medical research, much less even informed. In today’s day and age, there exist more protections for patients availing themselves to medical research such as informed consent and institutions that protect their rights as medical patients such as the National Institutes of Health. The issue that has become prevalent in the last few decades is whether participants in medical research can be compensated for their service. Can one’s cells be indeed monetized?…

    Ethical Guidelines for Animal Experimentation Rationale Animal experimentation refers to the use of living animals for the purpose of research into biological structures that seek for examining the effectiveness of pharmaceutical products, or testing the safety of consumer products such as cosmetics. Humans accept the necessity for animal experimentation to deal with unpredictable challenges, and therefore a wide range of animal species have been used to guarantee the accumulative developments in the field of science. However, proponents of such research pay no attention to the quality of animals’ life, nor to the potential of wildlife extinction. Regardless of the short-term and long-term effects on animals, the number of procedures is persistently increasing to satisfy humans’ self-interest.…

    Advisory Board Conclusion

    Being a small unregistered not for profit organization instead of a board of directors we have an advisory board made up of community members to advise our management team and provide insight on what the community needs related to sports. This section will discuss why we chose an advisory board who is on our advisory board, What insight each member brings, and why an advisory board is best for our stage of development. Our non-profit is still in the developmental stages, and lacks proper funding for a board of directors. Having a board of directors is required for registered non-profits, and since we are not registered a board of directors for governance is not an option. The best alternative available in our opinion was an advisory board.…
