Question: A private research organization receives federal funding to conduct a study on memory. Apply the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects to explain what administrative body this organization must establish to legally evaluate their research protocols.

Sample answer: Because the private research organization receives federal support, the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects requires them to establish an institutional review board (IRB). This board is responsible for evaluating their research protocols before the study can proceed.

Key points:

  • Apply the policy to the organization because it receives federal funding.
  • Identify the mandatory administrative body as the institutional review board (IRB).
  • State that the IRB is required to evaluate the research protocols.

Feedback: The student's answer should correctly identify that receiving federal funding triggers the requirement to establish an institutional review board (IRB) to evaluate the research protocols.
