Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Institutional review boards (IRBs) are responsible for reviewing research proposals involving human participants to ensure that they meet ethical standards and do not pose undue risk to the participants. The American Psychological Association (APA) and Association of Psychological Science (APS) are professional organizations for psychologists and do not have authority for approving research projects. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is a government agency that provides funding for research, but does not have a role in approving individual research projects.
