Policy Implications When Following Department of Education ED Regulations and Guidance

Stanford University HRPP Checklist Checklist for research funded/supported by Department of Defense [DoD] (all branches) Department of Navy [DON] CHK-42DOD 1/3

Instructions: These DoD and DON requirements differ from or are additional to our current HRPP policies and must be met prior to initiating human research activities, when applicable. IRB Manager:  Attach this checklist in eProtocol when completed.  Send comment(s) as appropriate  Refer to Guidance GUI-42 for more information as needed. PD: Protocol ID: Checklist completed by (IRB Staff name): Date:

(A) REVIEW FOR THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

1. Yes No Does research meets DoD definition of minimal risk? The definition of minimal risk shall not be interpreted to include the inherent risks certain categories of human subjects face in their everyday life. E.g., risks imposed in research focused on a special population should not be evaluated against the inherent risks encountered in their work environment (e.g., emergency responder, pilot, soldier in a combat zone) or having a medical condition (e.g., frequent medical tests or constant pain).

2. Yes No Does the research involve more than minimal risk?

If “yes”:

Yes No Monitor? For research involving more than minimal risk the IRB shall approve an independent research monitor by name. The monitor may be an ombudsman or member of the DSMB. OSD (Office of the Secretary of Defense) and DoD Component heads may waive the research monitor requirement on a case-by-case basis when inclusion of a monitor is not necessary to provide additional protections for human subjects.

If DON: Yes No Provision for research-related injury? Arrangement for emergency treatment and necessary follow-up of any research-related injury.

3. Yes No Is consent by legally authorized representatives (LAR) proposed? If “yes”: Determination that research is intended to be beneficial to the subject must be made by the IRB.

4. Yes No N/A Does Compensation/Payment to Participants follow these limits?  Blood draws: Federal employees while on duty and non-federal persons may be compensated for research blood draws up to $50 for each blood draw.

 Other than blood draws: Non-federal employees may be compensated for research other than blood draws in a reasonable amount as approved by IRB.  Limitations on dual compensation: US military personnel can only receive payment for off duty hours’ participation.

5. Yes No Is there a request for Waiver of Informed Consent? If “yes”: Waiver is prohibited in either of the following circumstances:  If the research involves a human being as an ‘experimental subject’ (i.e., research where there is an intervention or interaction for the primary purpose of obtaining data regarding the effect of the intervention or interaction.)  For DON: Exception from consent in emergency medicine research is prohibited unless a waiver is obtained from the Secretary of the Navy.

6. Yes No Are there Vulnerable subjects? If “no”, skip to next question. If “yes”, check as appropriate:

Yes Pregnant women, fetuses and neonates:  DHHS 45 CFR 46 Subpart B applies, replacing the phrase “biomedical knowledge” with “generalizable knowledge”.  The applicability of Subpart B is limited to research that is more than minimal risk and includes interventions or invasive procedures to the woman or fetus; or research involving fetuses/neonates as human subjects.  Human subjects research using fetal tissue shall comply with U.S.C. title 42 (289g–289g-2). Yes Prisoners: DHHS 45 CFR 46 Subpart C applies, but note: All prisoner research must be reviewed and approved at a convened IRB meeting, including research which meets the criteria for exemption. Yes No N/A Epidemiological research involving prisoners is allowable, if the research: (1) Describes the prevalence or incidence of a disease by identifying all cases or studies potential risk factor associations for a disease; (2) Presents no more than minimal risk; (3) Presents no more than an inconvenience to the human subject; (4) Does not focus particularly on prisoners. Yes Detainees and POWs: Research involving prisoners of war (POW) and detainees is prohibited.

7. Yes No Are Department of Defense personnel involved as participants? If “yes”:

Yes No Research involves surveys?

Surveys performed on Department of Defense personnel must be submitted, reviewed, and approved by the Department of Defense after the research protocol is reviewed and approved by the IRB. Yes No N/A Undue influence minimized? Officers and senior noncommissioned officers (NCOs) shall not influence the decisions of their subordinates to participate or not, and shall not be present at the time of research recruitment sessions and consent involving members of units under their command. The IRB shall appoint an ombudsman for research involving Service Members as human subjects that is greater than minimal risk and when recruitment occurs in a group setting.

(B) SEND COMMENTS FOR ALL NEW DOD/DON PROTOCOLS: (Not necessary when Stanford is a sub- awardee) Reporting by Researchers or Institution must follow certain guidelines & timeframes: Yes IRB Manager has: (i) Sent Comment 42-DoD, (ii) Added to “IRB Admin Notes” in eProtocol.
