Does the IRB review requirement vary by funding source?
Tufts University is allowed to participate in human subject research under an agreement with the federal government called a Federal Wide Assurance (FWA). Like most universities, Tufts does not distinguish between funding sources in its requirement for IRB review. Any human subject research, whether funded or not, is subject to the same requirements.
