In addition to traditional biomedical studies, the following research also constitutes research
involving human subjects and requires review:
-
Use of humans to test devices or products or materials that have been developed through research,
including using humans to examine human-machine interfaces.
-
Use of data collected through intervention or interaction with individuals. Intervention, such as
physically drawing blood, could also include manipulation of a subject's environment. Interaction
includes interpersonal contact, questionnaires, surveys, and other kinds of communication.
-
Use of information collected through observation and/or recording of human image, voice, or behavior,
or through sensor recordings.
-
Use of private information that can be identified with an individual, (for example school or medical
records). Information is "private" if the individual can reasonably expect it not to be made public,
observed or recorded.
-
Use of bodily materials such as cells, blood, urine, tissues, organs, hair, and nail clippings, even
if you did not collect these materials.
-
Use of humans to evaluate environmental alterations - for example, weatherization options or habitat
modifications.
- Use of humans to test particular practices, such as educational,
financial, or agricultural practices, to achieve results.
