1. Respect for Persons– Informed Consent process– Privacy and Confidentiality
2. Beneficence– Risk/Benefit Analysis– Scientific Merit
3. Justice– Review of subject selection

Problems protecting subjects continue…
• U Penn – gene therapy 1999
• Hopkins – hexamethonium bromide 2001
• Stratton VA – eligibility falsification 2002

Examples of research
• Clinical Trials (therapeutic research) • Survey, observational, or educational
research
IRB APPROVAL REQUIRED
• Review of medical records or databases• Tissue or data
– Identifiable vs coded vs anonymous– Exisiting?

REQUIRED: All Research
• Research must be approved before being conducted

Indefinite Plans / Non-human
• Research involves human tissue, data, etc., but
– NO interaction or intervention with living person,
AND– NO exposure to or collection of privately
identifiable data
![Page 17: IRB History, Ethical Foundations, & Researcher Responsibilities](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812a83550346895d8e18d9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Exempt
• Interaction/intervention with living individual or their identifiable data
1. Survey, observational, educational research
• Either no risk to subject, or• If potential risk recorded anonymously
• Survey does not collect identifiers
![Page 18: IRB History, Ethical Foundations, & Researcher Responsibilities](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812a83550346895d8e18d9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Exempt
2. Review of existing data, documents, records or specimens that is recorded anonymously :
– All data exists BEFORE submission– Researcher sees identifiers, but collects
data such that it cannot be linked back to subject• 17 HIPAA identifiers apply • No codes or links, permanent or temporary
![Page 19: IRB History, Ethical Foundations, & Researcher Responsibilities](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812a83550346895d8e18d9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

• Interaction/intervention with living individual or their identifiable data
• Prospective minimal risk research– Collection of data from voice, video, digital, or image
recordings made for research purposes.– Research on individual or group characteristics or behavior
(including, but not limited to, research on perception, cognition, motivation, identity, language, communication, cultural beliefs or practices, and social behavior) or research employing survey, interview, oral history, focus group, program evaluation, human factors evaluation, or quality assurance methodologies.

Expedited
• Approved for a maximum of 1 year– must obtain approval for Continuing
Review – Adverse Events

“Outside” Issues
• Secondary subjects: anyone you collect data on is a subject
• Conducting research at other locations– International Research
• Involving outsiders in research• Conflict of Interest
![Page 26: IRB History, Ethical Foundations, & Researcher Responsibilities](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812a83550346895d8e18d9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Privacy & Confidentiality• Privacy
– Subject’s ability to control how other people see, touch, or obtain information about the subject.
• Confidentiality – the ways identifiable information will be
stored and shared
![Page 27: IRB History, Ethical Foundations, & Researcher Responsibilities](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812a83550346895d8e18d9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Non-compliance• Conducting research
prior to initial approval• Conducting research
after approval expires• Implementing revisions without prior IRB
approval• Over-enrolling• Enrolling subjects not approved by IRB
– Vulnerable populations
![Page 28: IRB History, Ethical Foundations, & Researcher Responsibilities](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812a83550346895d8e18d9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Non-compliance
• Enrolling subjects who do not fit enrollment criteria in protocol
• Need approval from Sponsor & IRB
• Failure to obtain/document consent• Losing copies of signed consents• Failure to document procedures
“If it’s not documented it didn’t happen”

• From Mid 1800s on, increased use of animals in medical research
Public concerned about animal welfare
• British Cruelty to Animals Act of 1876
• Establishment of several Antivivisection Societies (late 1800’s-early 1900’s)
• Following World War IIEconomic boom, large increase in scientific researchHygienic Laboratory renamed National Institutes of

• PHS requires use of the Guide, USDA refers to the Guide, AAALAC uses the Guide as a standard.
• PHS guidelines required by CDC, FDA, NIH. Last year, UF received $580M for sponsored research (over half from federal sources, half of this from the NIH)
• Ag Guide: “Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Agricultural Research and Teaching”
The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals

The IACUC at the University of Florida is
committed to ensuring that all animals used for experimental purposes are treated humanely and that pain and stress are minimized.
Why are we here?

• Oversight and evaluation of all aspects of animal care and use program
• Assure compliance with all federal, state, and local laws & regulations
• Evaluate animal care & use program (ACS, IACUC, EH&S)
• Inspect facilities• Review Animal Use Protocols• Review animal welfare concerns• Suspend Activity
The role of the IACUC
![Page 57: IRB History, Ethical Foundations, & Researcher Responsibilities](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812a83550346895d8e18d9/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
The role of the IACUC
• Reviews all animal care and use protocols• It is a formal request from the investigator to the university to
use vertebrate animals and tissues in experiments.• It is a contract between the PI and the university• No work on a protocol can be started without approval• All personnel contacting animals must be listed on the
protocol• All changes and/or additions must be approved by the
IACUC
![Page 58: IRB History, Ethical Foundations, & Researcher Responsibilities](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812a83550346895d8e18d9/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
• Original/initial protocol submission (approved for up to 3 years)
• Addendums (minor changes to existing protocol)• Annual review of protocol (report of what has been done in
past year)• Triennial review of protocol (protocols already approved for
3 years, needs to be approved for up to 3 more years)• Major Revision • Administrative (title, room, and/or funding change)• myIACUC login• Veterinary Consultation –
All new protocols, triennial reviews, major revisions, and addendums must be reviewed by a veterinarian.

When reviewing protocols
• Pain, distress and discomfort
• Cat. A – No live animal use, observational field studies or use of cadavers not euthanized for study
• Cat. B – Breeding or observation only
• Cat. C - Minimal pain, distress, discomfort associated with protocol, and no pain relieving drugs or treatments are necessary
• Cat. D – Pain, distress, discomfort associated with protocol and appropriate pain relieving drugs or treatments are provided
• Cat. E - Pain, distress, discomfort associated with protocol, but pain relieving drugs or treatment are withheld because use would interfere with study objectives.

• Alternatives to animal use/duplication (3 R’s)
• Replacement: when non-animal or in-vitro models are available
• Reduction: minimize number of animals used while still being consistent with sound scientific and statistical standards.
• Refinement: procedures should have the least amount of potential pain, discomfort, distress, & morbidity (PDDM). PDDM should be minimized through pharmacological and other means.
• Justification for species used and any deviations from standard practices
• Endpoints and criteria for euthanasia

**IFAS Food & Fiber research does not need IACUC approval unless the funding agency or journal of publication requires it**
**Tissue studies may or may not need IACUC approval. Funding sources or publishers may require an IACUC approval.**
**Protocols that involve field studies and teaching must be submitted for IACUC approval**
