Creating a New IRB

1. Decide if you need to create an amendment for an existing IRB or create an entirely new IRB.

  • Reasons you need to create a new IRB include:
    • a change in risk (e.g. using deception)
    • a change in the pool of subjects
    • a change in methodology or research questions

2. Decide if the new IRB should be exempt, expedited or full.

  • an IRB should be exempt if an existing data source is being used
  • all human behavior experiments should be expedited
  • an IRB should be full if it involves a greater than minimal risk
    • including, but not limited to: health records, blood samples, administering electric shock, experimentation on children, administering electric shock to children

3. Details for all of these forms are on this website: http://www.researchadmin.iu.edu/HumanSubjects/IUB/hs_review_type.html

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not run subjects on your new IRB until you receive approval for it.
