Research Ethics

The OHSU Institutional Review Board website below covers all you need to know to have your research reviewed. Even if you don't think it is research with human participants, make a Request for Determination to the IRB.

We can help you with searching related to your research proposals to the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).

We also have listed an example of an OHSU Patient Consent for Case Publication.

OHSU Institutional Review Board (IRB)
The OHSU Institutional Review Board (IRB) reviews research that involves human subjects. In general, a human subject is a living individual about whom an investigator conducting research obtains (1) data through intervention or interaction with the individual or (2) identifiable private information.
Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)
"Animals that are used in research and teaching at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) are covered by our Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), overseeing all aspects of animal care and use. The IACUC is designed to assure that it is in compliance with the Animal Welfare Act regulations and Public Health Service (PHS) Policy."

Checklist

In addition to steps from your department or mentor:

Clarify your topic and searchable question
Confirm your presentation date
Identify a mentor or peer reviewer. Meet with a librarian as needed.
Do a search for 1) systematic reviews or meta-analyses in Cochrane, Campbell, PsycINFO, PubMed, and 2) primary literature from the date cutoffs from the systematic review. Save your search strategies!
Use a citation management software to organize your articles and citations from both peer-reviewed journal databases and other resources.
Critically appraise the articles you find that look most relevant to your question, if these are individual research articles (vs. a systematic review where someone else has already synthesized the information).
Look at additional resources relevant to your topic such as professional organization guidelines, white papers or epidemiological reports to provide background data for your topic.
Create your content with appropriate citations.
Get peer review feedback.
Have a great presentation.
