_LEE UNIVERSITY FACULTY HANDBOOK & CONSTITUTION"expedited review" and Category II requires "full review". The review procedures for eachof these are described below. Each researcher should make the initial determinationregarding the appropriate category of review, although the IRRB or its designee mayrequire review under another category. The researcher can always request a higher levelof review than that required.Following are the project categories along with examples of the types of projectsincluded in each category:Project Category I (Expedited Review--minimal risk)This research generally does not require written documentation of informed consentby law, but oral consent is required for all research involving direct interaction withsubjects. However, it is undoubtedly safer to obtain written consent for all projects whenpossible. All research in schools requires written permission from the school district.Examples:1. Anonymous mail or telephone surveys on innocuous topics2. Anonymous, non-interactive, non-participating observation of public behavior3. Secondary analysis of existing data4. Educational research involving no interaction with students: e.g., regularclassroom activity5. Research involving the use of educational tests such as cognitive, diagnostic,personality, aptitude, and achievement tests6. Research involving the use of educational records if information taken from thesesources is provided to the researcher in such a manner that subjects cannot beidentified7. Research on individual or group behavior of normal adults where there is nopsychological intervention, physiological intervention or deception8. Interviews and interactive surveys on non-sensitive topics (i.e. taste and foodquality evaluation and consumer acceptance studies)*The IRRB has the authority to require full review of any research submitted (even ifthe researcher submits it under the category of expedited review).Project Category II (Full Review)For all research involving subjects who have been determined to be "at risk", writtendocumentation of legally effective informed consent is required. Research on minors orsubjects incompetent to give consent requires permission by a parent or legal guardian.Deception research will only be approved if it meets certain conditions (e.g. debriefing).Examples:1. Research which might put subjects at risk2. Research involving psychological or physiological intervention3. Non curricular, interactive research in schools4. Research involving deception that might have adverse effects on subjects5. Interviews or surveys on sensitive topics6. Research on special populations: e.g. minors, prisoners, and the mentallyincompetent7. Research conducted outside the US regardless of the procedures involved7 - 43 Academic Policies and Procedures
