Compliance does not end with initial IRB approval. To continue compliance, researchers have the following responsibilities:

  • To conduct the study according to the protocol / IRB application
  • Report to the IRB any deviations from the protocol / IRB application
  • Report to the IRB any proposed changes to the originally approved IRB submission
  • Report to the IRB any adverse events
  • Unless waived by the IRB, obtain informed consent from each individual participant before conducting any study procedures with that particular participant
  • Unless waived by the IRB, document consent by obtaining signatures of involved participants on the consent form
  • Maintain signed consent documents for three years
  • Report progress of approved research to the IRB in the manner prescribed by the IRB at the time of approval
  • Monitor the rights and welfare of participants throughout the study
