ATSU Kirksville Institutional Review Board: Full Board Reviews

Full Board Reviews

See MO Full IRB Manual for more information

A full board review is required for research that is not eligible for exempt or expedited review. 

  • Research that is judged to involve more than minimal risk would undergo full board review. 
  • Research involving protected populations such as children, prisoners, or disabled individuals. 
  • Projects that plan to use procedures that are personally intrusive, stressful, or potentially traumatic (stress can be physical, psychological, social, financial, or legal). 
  • Projects that involve the intentional deception of subjects, such that misleading or untruthful information will be provided to participants.
