Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An IRB (Institutional Review Board) is specifically designed to review research protocols and ensure that nothing potentially unethical takes place with human participants. It is a preventative body that reviews research prior to its commencement. The other options, such as the feminist/critical model of research ethics and codes of ethics, provide overarching ethical principles to guide research but are not specific gatekeeping mechanisms for human subjects research. RIH (Research Integrity and Human Subjects Protection) is not a commonly used term in the context of research ethics gatekeeping.
