Overview
New Solutions to Ongoing Problems When Reviewing Social, Behavioral, and Educational Research, a webinar on February 25, 2009 at 1:00 PM ET, addressed some of the issues facing those involved in social, behavioral, and educational research (SBER).
Agenda
In this engaging offering from our respected faculty, participants learned more about...
- How to determine what is exempt and what is expedited in SBER - What kind of SBER research needs IRB review? What are the key criteria for exempt determinations? And how best should common expedited review criteria be exercised?
- Ethical research, oral history, and ethnography: when the rules don’t apply
- Ethical issues in survey research - What is "identifiable" survey information? What kind of information may be harmful if disclosed? What are some best practices in internet and international research? How many telephone "call-backs" should an IRB approve?
