Answer 1

Answer:

In most cases, a U.S. researcher affiliated with an academic institution, proposing to conducted funded research outside of the U.S., must have the approval of an IRB from both the researcher's U.S. institution and an equivalent entity within the host country.

Explanation:

• It is mandatory for a researcher from the United States willing to conduct research within or outside the domestic boundary of the United States to have the approval of the Institutional Review Board of the institution that he is working with.
• If the researcher is willing to conduct research specifically outside the domestic boundaries of the US, he is required to form a collaboration with an institute functioning in the country of research and get an approval from the Institutional Review Board of that particular institute along with the approval of the IRB of his native academic institute.
