Happy holidays to all here in the Cayuse Connect Community!
I am hoping to get some advice on some updates I am currently making to my institution's Initial Submission template in Human Ethics. The changes are related to the new exempt category 4 (Secondary Use). What kinds of questions do you include in the application template so the IRB can determine that the study meets the criteria for this "re-imagined" exemption? What about the other exempt categories? Do you include any questions to lead the IRB to better determine that studies meet those exemptions? It would be great if I could see sample questions regarding these new or revised exemptions! Any help you can provide, I would be most grateful to receive. Please feel free to contact me offline at
irb@shsu.edu. Thank you in advance for your help and advice. Be safe this holiday season!
