University of Central Florida Institutional Review Board Overview Sophia F. Dziegielewski, Ph.D., LCSW IRB Chair Michael G. Deichen, MD, MPH IRB Vice Chair IRB Office Staff: Joanne Muratori, MA, CIP, CIM Patria Davis, MSP, CIP Kamille Chaparro, BS Gillian Morien, BA

The Role of the IRB Members IRB Function The purpose of an IRB is to review research involving human subjects to ensure their rights and welfare are adequately protected. The Role of the IRB Members Charged with safeguarding the rights and welfare of human subjects. Duties include reviewing protocols that involve the use of human subjects. Assist and guide researchers to help protect the rights of human subjects

Research Ethics Do we have a right to use information gathered unethically? Why Do Human Research Subjects Need Protection? Prisoner of War camps in Asia and Europe: practiced mutilation surgery, tested antibiotics, affects of cold, injured people to study the healing process.

Trigger Events “What we’ve learned from history…” The Nazi Experiments Tuskegee Syphilis Study Milgram’s Studies

Ethical Milestones Nuremberg Code 1947 (Human consent is essential.) National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects Biomedical & Behavioral 1974 (First bioethical commission to shape Human Subjects Research.) Belmont Report 1978 Common Rule 1991

The Belmont Report: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research, April 18, 1979 Respect for Persons (“Be courteous”) People should be autonomous and not used as a means to an end. Allow informed choice where participants can choose for themselves. Provide additional protections for those who need it. Derived concepts: Informed consent, Respect for privacy Beneficence (“Do good”) We are obligated to protect persons from harm by clearly identifying and maximizing anticipated benefits while minimizing possible risks of harm. Derived concepts: Good research design, Competent investigators, Favorable risk/benefit analysis. Justice (“Be fair.”) Requires that the benefits and burdens of research be distributed fairly. Derived concepts: Equitable selection of subjects.

Common Rule A federal policy regarding Human Subjects Protection that applies to 17 Federal agencies and offices. Applies to agencies that have signed an agreement to uphold. Outlines the requirements for assuring compliance by research institutions. Outlines the requirements for researchers' obtaining and documenting informed consent. Requirements for Institutional Review Board (IRB) membership, function, operations, review of research, and record keeping. Outlines protections for vulnerable populations (Subparts B-D). Research, Development and Related Activities Involving Fetuses, Pregnant Woman, and Human In Vitro Fertilization Biomedical and Behavioral Research Involving Prisoners as Subjects Children Involved as Subjects in Research The Common Rule is the set of regulations which were developed to ensure compliance with the principles of the Belmont Report. The reg’s fall under the DHHS. These reg’s have been adopted by many other fed departments which regulate human research. Additionally, there are many other reg’s with which UCF is required to comply with such as the FDA, state and local reg’s but these are all in addition to the “Common Rule”.

Summary: Protective mechanisms established by “The Common Rule” Institutional assurances of compliance Review of research by an IRB Informed consent of subjects

Why is compliance important? Professional ethics Statute compliance Publication Individual grant funding University grant funding University research Liability Though the IRB’s first responsibility is to protect the welfare of human participants in research, ensuring compliance with federal regulations helps to protect UCF’s research enterprise. Universities have had their research funding shut down due to non-compliance issues. By working with IRB in a timely and proactive way, researchers can ensure that their studies are conducted professionally and in full compliance with federal, state, and university regulations and policies.

UCF has received accreditation of its Human Research Protection Program Accreditation by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs, Inc. (AAHRPP) is the “gold standard” that signifies that UCF is in full compliance with regulatory requirements as well as industry best-practices. Analogous to Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC International) accreditation for animal research. Demonstrates commitment to human subject protections

What you need to know!

How do I know if a project needs IRB review? Meets federal definition of “research” Systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge + Meets definition of “human subject(s)” The investigator will gather data about living individuals through intervention or interaction OR The investigator will gather data about living individuals that is private AND identifiable.

Federal Definitions Private information includes information about behavior that occurs in a context in which an individual can reasonably expect that no observation or recording is taking place, and information provided for specific purposes and the individual does not expect the information to be made public Data from interacting or intervening with subjects (surveys, interviews, focus groups, or Identifiable data such as records (school, medical, etc.) or human specimens (blood, tissue, etc) Identifiable – Names, Social Security Numbers, Addresses, or specific information that could identify a person if the population is small Identifiers for protected health information (PHI) are defined in detail

Criteria for IRB Approval Risks are Minimized (Consistent with a sound research design and does not unnecessarily expose subjects to risk) Risks are Reasonable in Relation to Benefits Selection of Subjects is Equitable Informed Consent will be Sought for Each Prospective Subject Informed Consent will Be Documented Research Plan Adequately Provides for Monitoring the Data Collected to Ensure Safety of the Subjects Research Plan Adequately Protects the Privacy of Subjects and Maintains Confidentiality When some or all of the subjects are likely to be vulnerable to coercion or undue influence, additional safeguards need to be included in the protocol to protect the rights and welfare of these subjects.

IRB Review of Research All research projects are categorized into one of three categories for the IRB review process. Each category is different in the level of scrutiny and submission procedures. The IRB is responsible for making the final decision of which category a research project falls under. Exempt Expedited Full Board Review *Level of risk is an important factor in study determination Minimal risk is the probability and magnitude of physical or psychological harm that is normally encountered in the daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of healthy persons. At this time, a small percentage of studies go to the full board and those involve either vulnerable populations like children, prisoners OR biomedical studies.

Levels of review- Exempt (reviewed by Chair or other IRB member) Research on commonly accepted educational practices or unidentifiable data Document review, educational testing, surveys or observation of public behavior Used cautiously with vulnerable populations (seniors, prisoners, children, pregnant women, fetuses) Only the institution, not the investigator, can determine exempt status “Exempt” does not mean that the study does not need to be reviewed by IRB; it means “exempt” from specific Federal regulations. The researcher cannot determine that a study meets the criteria for “exempt” category; the IRB provides the researcher with an IRB notice of Exempt status for their records. If requested changes would increase risk or include the use of identifiers, a new IRB application may have to be submitted. Consult with the IRB.

Levels of review- Expedited (reviewed by Chair or IRB designated member) Minimal risk and fit into an “Expedited” category Document review Surveys or Interviews Collection of specimens Routine noninvasive procedures The vast majority of UCF IRB studies submitted are social/ behavioral/ educational and receive “Expedited” review.

Levels of review- Full Board (reviewed by Chair AND IRB members) Protocols which meet the definition of more than minimal risk Clinical trials PI is invited to meeting to clarify IRB concerns UCF IRB meets once a month Full Board Review examples here at UCF: The Weight Watchers Study here on UCF campus; psychology studies involving autistic children, alcohol studies involving participants under the age of 21, prisoner research

The IRB has the authority to: Approve Require modifications prior to approval Table until major issues are clarified Disapprove all research activities including proposed changes in previously approved human subject research. Studies that receive Expedited or Exempt review may not be Disapproved by the IRB reviewer. The reviewer would recommend a second review or full board review.

Required Training CITI online human subjects protection training is required every 3 years. Study will not be approved until all KSP are trained. https://www.citiprogram.org/ See the UCF IRB website for access http://www.research.ucf.edu/Compliance/irb.html Applications may be submitted in iRIS and will be reviewed, but final approval is held until the training requirement has been completed by all key study personnel including faculty advisors, collaborators.
