Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The role of an institutional review board (IRB) is to ensure that research studies conducted by researchers working under the auspices of the university adhere to ethical guidelines. As such, the IRB would be responsible for deciding whether Dr. Matthews' proposed study meets ethical guidelines before it is initiated. The IRB would not be responsible for deciding how many students can be included, where the study can be published, or the variables to be used.
