A researcher from off campus wishes to perform a study that involves collecting data at ASU without an ASU investigator. What type of review is needed?
The only action needed by the research team is to submit the IRB approval from the other institution to the IRB. The IRB will then check to see if there is any obvious problem with allowing the study to proceed. If there are no problems, then the IRB will inform the researcher that this will not require oversight from the ASU IRB. The ASU IRB provides oversight on projects where ASU faculty, staff or students are collecting or analyzing data. If ASU is used as a recruitment site only, then ASU IRB review is not necessary. For more information, please see OHRP’s FAQ about engaged in research.
