We established a departmental IRB (two faculty) who pass on experimental psy

institutional IRB.

Tipsters,
Would projects not approved by the IRB be covered if there was a

understand a lawsuit in these cases is unlikely, but I can think of some
questionnaire items that could be very offensive.
Thanks for your answers
