A student is conducting a research project that involves using a survey. The survey asks participants about their highest level of education, political affiliation, and views on various social issues. No identifiable information will be collected. Therefore, the study would be categorized as an Exempt Review.
Exempt review is a term used in academic studies that represents a situation in which a research or study may be approved by the institutional review committee (IRB), even with minimal risk. This type of research does not require much protocol by the IRB and can be approved for publication even without the need to convene this committee.
