Do I Need IRB Review? | Institutional Review Board | USU

Factors that the IRB examines in considering whether the project will contribute to "generalizable knowledge" include:

  • Outcomes will be expressed in theories, statements, or principles that are of general applicability;
  • The activities are designed to draw general conclusions;
  • The findings would be representative of more than just the individuals under direct study;
  • The information contributes to a theoretical framework or established body of knowledge;
  • Publication, presentation, or other distribution of the results are intended to inform the field of study;
  • The primary beneficiaries of the outcomes/outputs are other professionals, practitioners, researchers, and/or scholars;
  • The findings are replicable or transferrable to other settings or individuals, including future planned studies by the same research team.
