# IRB Decision Tree — Human Subjects Research Ethics Review Guide
## Purpose
IRB (Institutional Review Board) ethics review decision tree and Taiwan process guide. Used by the ethics_review_agent to determine whether research involves human subjects, and by the research_architect_agent to plan IRB review during methodology design.
---
## 1. Human Subjects Research Determination Decision Tree
```
Does your research collect, use, or analyze data from humans?
│
├── No → Does not involve human subjects, no IRB review needed
│ (e.g., pure theoretical research, literature review, secondary analysis of public statistics)
│
└── Yes → Is the data personally identifiable?
│
├── No → Is the data publicly available public data?
│ │
│ ├── Yes → Typically exempt from review
│ │ But must still submit an exempt review application to IRB for confirmation
│ │
│ └── No → Proceed to "Review Level Determination" below
│
└── Yes → Does the research involve direct interaction with subjects?
│
├── No → Only uses existing data/specimens
│ │
│ ├── Data already de-identified → May apply for exempt review
│ └── Data contains identifiable information → Expedited or full board review
│
└── Yes → Proceed to "Review Level Determination" below
```

## 2. Three-Level Review System
### 2.1 Exempt Review
**Applicable Conditions** (any one of the following):
- [ ] Uses publicly available, de-identified datasets
- [ ] Research on educational practices in normal educational settings
- [ ] Involves only anonymous surveys (no sensitive topics)
- [ ] Observation of public behavior (no identifiable information recorded)
- [ ] Uses government public statistical data
**Note**: Exempt review does not mean exempt from application — you must still submit to IRB to confirm exempt status.
### 2.2 Expedited Review
**Applicable Conditions** (all must be met):
- [ ] Research risk is no greater than risks ordinarily encountered in daily life (minimal risk)
- [ ] Does not involve vulnerable populations
- [ ] Research methods are on the expedited review category list
**Common Categories**:
- Surveys (containing sensitive but not high-risk topics)
- Interviews (general topics)
- Teaching intervention research (non-invasive)
- Audio/video recording (with consent)
- Secondary analysis of previously collected clinical data
### 2.3 Full Board Review
**Applicable Conditions** (any one of the following):
- [ ] Greater than minimal risk
- [ ] Involves vulnerable populations (children, prisoners, pregnant women, individuals with cognitive impairments)
- [ ] Involves sensitive topics (sexual behavior, illegal behavior, mental health)
- [ ] Uses deception
- [ ] May cause psychological or social harm

| **Regulations Governing Human Trials** | Drug/medical device clinical trials | GCP compliance, subject insurance |
### 3.3 Application Process
```
1. Write research proposal
↓
2. Determine whether human subjects are involved
↓ (Involved)
3. Confirm review level (Exempt / Expedited / Full Board)
↓
4. Submit application to institutional IRB
- Research proposal
- Informed consent form
- Questionnaire/interview guide
- Researcher qualification documentation (CITI or equivalent training)
↓
5. IRB review (timeline: Expedited 2-4 weeks, Full Board 4-8 weeks)
↓
6. Research may only begin after receiving approval letter
↓
7. Periodic progress reports (typically annual)
↓
8. Final report
```
### 3.4 Online Research Ethics Review Platforms
| Platform | Description | URL |

## 4. Higher Education Research Quick Reference Table
| Research Scenario | Involves Human Subjects | Recommended Review Level | Notes |
|-------------------|------------------------|--------------------------|-------|
| MOE public statistical data analysis | No | Exempt | Already publicly available de-identified data |
| Institutional research (IR) data analysis | Depends | Exempt/Expedited | Depends on whether data is de-identified |
| Student learning outcome survey | Yes | Expedited | Anonymous surveys typically qualify for expedited review |
| Teacher interviews (general teaching experience) | Yes | Expedited | Non-sensitive topics |
| Teaching experiment (A/B teaching method comparison) | Yes | Expedited/Full Board | Depends on whether it affects students' grades/rights |
| Student mental health survey | Yes | Full Board | Sensitive topic |
| Vulnerable student population study | Yes | Full Board | Vulnerable population protection |
| Student learning portfolio analysis | Depends | Expedited | Contains identifiable information requiring expedited review |
| Classroom observation (no personal data recorded) | Yes | Exempt/Expedited | Public setting observation |
| Graduate career tracking survey | Yes | Expedited | Contains personal data requiring expedited review |
| HEEACT accreditation data analysis | Depends | Exempt/Expedited | Publicly available portions exempt from review |
| University faculty salary/labor conditions survey | Yes | Expedited/Full Board | May involve institutional power dynamics |

## 6. Data De-identification and Privacy Protection
### 6.1 De-identification Strategies
| Strategy | Description | Applicable Scenario |
|----------|-------------|---------------------|
| **Anonymization** | Complete removal of all identifiable information, irreversible | Final data publication |
| **Pseudonymization** | Replace with codes, retain a linkage table | Need to track during research process |
| **Data generalization** | Convert precise values to ranges (e.g., age → age group) | Statistical analysis |
| **Data masking** | Hide partial information (e.g., partially masked email) | Data display |
| **k-anonymity** | Ensure each record is indistinguishable from at least k-1 other records | Dataset release |
### 6.2 Common Privacy Risks in Higher Education Research
- **Small sample identification**: Small departments may allow re-identification through descriptive statistics
- **Cross-referencing**: Combining multiple de-identified datasets may enable re-identification
- **Narrative identification**: Qualitative research quotations may reveal interviewee identity
- **Institutional identification**: Overly specific institutional characteristics may allow institution identification
### 6.3 Recommended Practices
- [ ] Remove direct identifiers (names, student IDs, national ID numbers)
- [ ] Assess indirect identifier risks (department + year + gender combinations may identify individuals)
- [ ] Check qualitative quotations: remove identifiable details
- [ ] Handle institutional names: decide whether to anonymize based on research needs
- [ ] Encrypt data storage with access controls
- [ ] Establish data retention and destruction timeline

1. [ ] Does my research collect, use, or analyze human-related data?
2. [ ] If yes, is the data completely de-identified and publicly available?
3. [ ] If not, which level of IRB review do I need to apply for?
4. [ ] Have I completed research ethics training (CITI or equivalent)?
5. [ ] Does my informed consent form include all required elements?
6. [ ] Do I have an appropriate data protection plan?
7. [ ] If vulnerable populations are involved, are there additional protective measures?
8. [ ] Has the IRB review timeline been incorporated into the research project timeline?
