CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It reviews whether a project shows two common elements used in determinations: systematic investigation intended to contribute to generalizable knowledge, and involvement of living individuals through interaction, intervention, or identifiable private information or biospecimens.
How should the score be used?
Scores provide an educational reflection of how the responses align with common criteria. They are not legal or institutional determinations and do not establish exemption.
How long does it take and how many questions are included?
Estimated completion time is about 10 minutes. The quiz contains 15 questions.
Does this replace review by an oversight office?
No; rules and interpretations vary by institution and jurisdiction. Contact the appropriate oversight office before recruitment, intervention, or access to private data.
What information is needed to answer the items accurately?
Use the current project description, planned procedures, data sources, and whether identifiers or biospecimens will be used. If details are unknown, select the option that best matches the planned approach.

IRB Quiz - Symptoms and Signs

career

Use this free, no-sign-up IRB quiz to examine whether your project shows both core features commonly considered in an IRB determination: research designed as a systematic investigation that contributes to generalizable knowledge, and involvement of living individuals through interaction, intervention, or identifiable private information or biospecimens. Scores are educational reflections—not legal or institutional determinations—and do not establish exemption. Rules vary, so contact your IRB or research office before recruitment, intervention, or access to private data.
