Exemption 3: Benign Behavioral Intervention

Subject to certain limitations, research that involves benign behavioral interventions, is exempt from IRB review. Based upon your answers to the preceding questions, it appears that your research qualifies for this exemption.

Note: if this exemption applies but participation is not anonymous (i.e., the identity of the subjects can be readily ascertained but will be kept confidential) then this work needs a limited review of the procedures that are in place to ensure confidentiality.  To do this please complete this form and await approval before starting the research.

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.
