We are having a difference of opinion at our institution about the scope of responsibilities of the IRB. How does your IRB handle unapproved research that occurs? What are the sanctions? How would you define the scope of responsibilities of your institutions IRB. For example are they responsible or involved in policy development and enforcement? Any insight that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Emily
