A researcher asks an IRB to waive the requirement for parental permission for a study conducted in schools because the nature of
the research requires participation of all the children present in classrooms on the day the research will take place. Assuming that the basic research design could be approved by the IRB and the school, which of the following requirements must be met before an IRB could waive parental permission? 1. The research must pose no more than minimal risk.
2. An independent consultant must approve the waiver.
3. Parents must be notified that the study is taking place.
4. The students must be offered an optional classroom activity.
1. The research must pose no more than minimal risk.
Explanation:
For the Institutional Review Board (IRB) to agree to waive parental permission in a study involving minors, the researcher must be able to convince the IRB that the research pose no more than minimal risk.
The Virginia plan was a plan based on assigning representation to congress based on population sizes. Many small states had deemed this unfair and therefore if the plan had been adopted today, <u>states with larger population would benefit.</u>
