IRB Meeting Notes
This is a report I wrote for our Usability Testing Team concerning the TTU Institutional Review Board Meeting Kyle, Allison, and I sat in on.
These notes were not intended to be a formal record of the meeting’s minutes, but rather a concise summary of its contents. So it is written in an informal style, and also uses lots of bullets and white space to break up the document. This makes the notes easier and quicker to read.
The reason these notes were not intended to formally record the minutes is that the IRB asked the three of us not to release any information that was discussed during the meeting. So I limited my notes to describing the procedure, attitudes, and general concerns of members. This allows the members of our team to understand the IRB’s attitude and position, without revealing any classified information.
