A researcher who is also a university professor is performing a multi-site study in which on-site interviews are conducted with nurses in five hospitals in a major city. Each hospital has an institutional review board (IRB)
From how many IRBs or committees must the researcher obtain permission to conduct the study?
a. Six: each of the five hospitals, and the university
b. One: only the university
c. Five: only the hospitals
d. None: educational research is exempt from review
ANS: A
Universities and healthcare agencies have IRBs that function in a similar way to review research following federal regulations. If both a university and a hospital, or if more than one hospital, should be involved in a research study, both IRBs must give permission for the study to be conducted. This poses significant expenditure of time for such research.
