where could student researchers and/or student subjects find additional resources regarding the irb approval process? select all that apply.
Student researchers and student subjects can usually find additional resources about the IRB approval process from several key places, and most “select all that apply” questions are getting at the same two main answers:
- Faculty advisor / research mentor
- They help you interpret IRB policies, decide what level of review is needed, and prepare your application materials.
* Many institutions require the advisor to review or even formally sign off on student IRB submissions before they go to the board.
- The IRB office (or Human Research Protection Program office) at your institution
- This office usually maintains guides, FAQs, step‑by‑step manuals, and sometimes live help (email/phone/office hours) for students and participants with questions.
* They can clarify whether a project requires review, what training (like CITI) is needed, and how to navigate the local submission system.
So, if your question is a multiple‑choice “select all that apply,” the correct options are typically:
- Faculty advisor / research mentor
- IRB office (or equivalent human subjects / research compliance office)
These two are the primary, expected sources of extra information for both student investigators and student subjects regarding the IRB approval process.
