Exemption 2, involves children but under conditions of anonymity

Your research, which involves children, involves only educational tests or observation of public behavior; and in which the information obtained is recorded in such a way that the identity of the subjects cannot be readily ascertained; appears therefore to qualify for Exemption 2 and be exempt from IRB review. Based upon your answers to the preceding questions, it appears that your research qualifies for this exemption.

If you are certain that this describes your research, please fill out this form. If you have any questions or doubts, please feel free to contact the IRB.
