Reflection:
All Human Subjects Research must receive approval from the IRB. Therefore, if your research meets the definitions of both research and human subjects, you must complete the IRB process. According to the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP), 2011, a human subject is defined as "a living individual about who an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research obtains data through intervention or integration with the individual or identifiable private information (OHRP, 2011). While this was a lengthy process, it was crucial in understanding the history, policies, and processes of conducting research, receiving IRB approval, and who/when the IRB committee must be approached prior to your study. Personally, I grew to further my knowledge of the history behind case studies, data collection, and the IRB process from an ethical perspective. Professionally, I grew to correctly identify case studies that require IRB approval, parent consent, participant consent, and how to best design case studies in order to appropriately follow the steps of the IRB process. Students are impacted by such artifacts in that they know their rights as potential participants in research, and how to properly conduct research and data collection that follow the regulations of the institutional review board.
