If I obtain all the data from collaborators, do I need to obtain IRB review of my initial (new) research proposal and reviews of ongoing research?
Yes, both you and your collaborators must have approval from the IRB at your respective institutions – unless: (a) the IRB classifies your research proposal as Exempt from Periodic Continuing Reviews (those conducted at least every 364 days by Federal rule), and (b) no changes are made to the ongoing research that alters the Exempt classification.
