Our\u00a0Research Ethics Program is responsible for the ethical and regulatory compliance of research that involves human subjects. We are\u00a0committed to protecting the rights and welfare of subjects enrolled in its research activities.<\/p>

As a result, in 2009 the PSI Board of Directors established a Research Ethics Board (REB) to review all human subjects research conducted by us or under our direction.<\/p>

PSI maintains a Federalwide Assurance (FWA) with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services\u2019 Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP), and our REB is registered with OHRP. <\/p>

Submission\u00a0Information<\/h2>

Our REB accepts complete submissions on a rolling basis.\u00a0A submission determined to be minimal risk will be reviewed immediately. Those determined to be more than minimal risk will be reviewed by the full board.<\/p>

Since the overwhelming majority of the submissions to the REB meet the regulatory criteria for expedited approval, our REB convenes on an as-needed basis. If a submission is found to require a full board review, the REB Manager will convene the board within four weeks of submission.<\/p>

Determining if an activity requires ethical review<\/h2>

Is my activity research? Does my activity require ethical review? We\u00a0is involved in activity X, but we\u2019re not recruiting participants, do we need ethical review? <\/em><\/p>

These are common questions posed by our\u00a0staff and researchers. Our\u00a0Research Ethics Program has developed the following guidance to help staff determine when activities are required to receive ethical review and guidance on questions to consider at this stage of the process.<\/p>
