Do any insitutions out there require some form of payment/compensation in
order for an outside firm/company/other school to utilize their Insitutional
Review Board (IRB) to conduct reviews/give approval for the conduct of
proposed projects involving human subjects? Does it depend on whether the
institution itself has involvement and whether a faculty member might be
working on the research project? What if there is no connection to the
institution with the IRB in place. Finally, if you do charge to provide
approval on a project by project basis, where is such payment credited? To
some university account, or to your office of Sponsored Research/Grants and
Contracts? Thanks for all your input! :)
