Research Involving Human Subjects
The purpose of this Policy and Procedure is to assist investigators planning to conduct research involving human subjects in designing their research and submitting it for approval.
Human subjects research must be reviewed if conducted by any faculty, staff, students, or any other person under the auspices of the College.
Statement of Policy
- In accordance with state and federal regulations and professional standards of ethical conduct, it is the responsibility of the College to reasonably ensure that, in research conducted under its auspices, the rights and welfare of human subjects are adequately protected. The primary responsibility for protecting human subjects, however, rests with each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in research.
- In order for the College to fulfill its responsibility, the College has established an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is authorized to review and approve all research involving human subjects conducted under the auspices of the College, regardless of the source of funding.
a. "Human Subjects Research" is defined as a systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge, which involves the collection of data from or about living human beings. It does not include research using published or publicly available documents or research on elected or appointed public officials or candidates for public office.
b. The members of the IRB are appointed to a three-year term by the provost and chief academic officer. In addition to other requirements of state and federal regulations, the membership of the IRB shall be composed of individuals of varying backgrounds who are qualified through maturity, experience, expertise, and the diversity of the members' racial and cultural backgrounds to assure complete and adequate review of activities commonly conducted under the College's auspices, and to ensure respect for its advice and counsel for safeguarding the rights and welfare of human subjects. The IRB shall possess the professional competence necessary to ascertain the acceptability of proposals in terms of institutional commitment and regulations, applicable law, standards of professional conduct and practice, and community attitudes.
c. The determination regarding whether a given activity should be considered human subjects research will be made by the IRB or its designee.
d. Certain categories of research involving little or no risk to subjects need not be reviewed and approved by the full IRB, but are eligible for less intensive review procedures.
e. The IRB shall develop and promulgate appropriate categories of research and determine the review procedures for each category.
f. The IRB shall apply additional criteria (PDF) during the review of research involving Excelsior College prospective and enrolled students, faculty, staff, or alumni.
Planning a Research Project
When an investigator plans to conduct research involving human subjects, he/she is advised to contact the chair of the IRB (or a designee) who also functions as the human subjects research officer (HSRO) as early as possible. Email them at email@example.com Aspects of a project which may be problematic can be discussed and alternative procedures suggested. At this point, the research often can be designed in a way which will facilitate approval.
Determining Human Subjects Involvement
The initial determination as to whether a research project should be considered human subjects research should be made by the investigator. He/she should consult the HSRO (or designee) for advice on this question. Final authority for making this determination rests with the IRB or its designee.
In general, research that involves data gathered solely for internal use (e.g., program evaluation or institutional research) would not need to be reviewed. If, however, the results of this research will be disseminated to audiences external to the College, then the research must receive prior approval. If no dissemination is planned at the time the data are gathered, but the possibility of future dissemination exists, the project director would be advised to submit the project for approval prior to initiating the research.
Project Categories
Once it has been determined that an activity is to be considered human subjects research, it will be reviewed under one of two categories: Project Category I is eligible for "expedited review" and Project Category II requires "full review." The review procedures for each of these are described below. Each researcher should make the initial determination regarding the appropriate category of review, although the IRB or its designee may require review under another category. The researcher can always request a higher level of review than that required.
Below are listed the project categories, along with examples of the types of projects included in each category:
Project Category I (Expedited Review)
- Anonymous mail surveys on innocuous topics.
- Anonymous, noninteractive, nonparticipating observation of public behavior.
- Secondary analysis of existing data.
- Educational research involving no interaction with students; e.g., passive observance of regular advising activity or test-taking activity.
- Research involving the use of educational records if information taken from these sources is provided to the researcher in such a manner that subjects cannot be identified.
- Research on individual or group behavior of adults where there is no psychological intervention, physiological intervention or deception.
- Interviews and surveys on nonsensitive topics where confidentiality is assured.
Project Category II (Full Review)
- Research that might put subjects at risk.
- Research involving psychological or physiological intervention.
- Noncurricular, interactive research in schools, test sites, hospitals.
- Research involving deception.
- Interviews or surveys on sensitive topics.
- Research on persons who are under age 18, are in prison, have mental disabilities.
- Research conducted outside the United States, regardless of the procedures involved.
Review Forms
The IRB has developed a unified Human Subjects Research Application for Project Review form (PDF) that is used in submitting proposals in both project categories. The form is designed so that only the information required for the appropriate project category need be included in the proposal.
Review Procedures
Under expedited review, only three (3) copies of the proposal must be submitted and the review is carried out by the authorized designees of the IRB (usually including the Human Subjects Research Officer.) The designees may approve the project, request additional information or submit the proposal to the IRB for full review and approval. The investigator is notified in advance of this review. If the investigator questions any determination made under expedited review, he/she has the option of requesting a full review by the IRB, which will make the final determination.
Under full review, the original plus eight (8) copies of the proposal must be submitted. The review is generally conducted at the next convened meeting of the IRB. The IRB meets on an as-needed basis. Investigators are welcome to attend the meeting and answer questions or provide additional information regarding their projects.
Conditions of Approval
Approval of a project by the IRB only signifies that the procedures adequately protect the rights and welfare of the subjects and should not be taken to indicate College approval to conduct the research.
Approval of a project by the IRB applies only to the procedures submitted in the proposal. The investigator must secure prior approval from the IRB for any changes in the procedures that will affect the use of human subjects. The investigator must also report to the IRB any problems that arise in connection with the use of human subjects.
Approval for projects is valid for one year only. Investigators must request a continuation for the approval yearly if the activity lasts more than one year. Only two (2) continuations will be granted for a given project. After three years, the project must be resubmitted.
Student Research
All student investigators must have a faculty supervisor who is responsible for insuring that all procedures of the approval are complied with by the investigator. The faculty supervisor must sign the proposal certifying that the project is under her/his supervision.
All student investigators must have their research proposal approved by the Review Board at their respective college and provide proof of that approval.
Informed Consent
"Informed consent" means the knowing consent of an individual, or her/his legally authorized representative, who is able to exercise free power of choice without undue inducement or any form of force, fraud, deceit, duress or other form of constraint or coercion. An investigator shall seek consent only under the following circumstances:
- Sufficient opportunity is provided to the prospective subject or her/his representative, to consider whether or not to participate;
- The possibility of coercion or undue influence is minimized;
- The information that is given to the prospective subject, or her/his representative, shall be in language understandable to the subject or representative; and
- The subject, or her/his representative, cannot be made to waive or appear to waive any of her/his legal rights, or release or appear to release the investigator, the sponsor, the institution or its agents from liability for negligence.
The federal regulations detail the following basic elements of information necessary to such consent:
- A statement that the study involves research, an explanation of the purpose of the research and the expected duration of the subject's participation and a description of the procedures to be followed;
- A description of any foreseeable risks or discomforts to the subject;
- A description of any benefits to the subject or to others that may be reasonably expected from the research;
- A statement describing the extent to which confidentiality of records identifying the subject will be maintained;
- An explanation of whom to contact for answers to pertinent questions about the research and research subjects' rights and whom to contact in the event of a research-related injury;
- A statement that participation is voluntary, refusal to participate will involve no penalty or loss of benefits to which that subject is otherwise entitled and the subject may discontinue participation at any time; and
- For research involving more than minimal risk, an explanation that the College does not have a formal plan or program to provide medical treatment or compensation for any injury which occurs as a result of the subject's participation (the subject should also be informed that this does not waive any of her/his legal rights).
When appropriate, one or more of the following elements of information shall also be provided to each subject:
- A disclosure of appropriate alternative procedures or courses of treatment, if any, that might be advantageous to the subject ;
- An identification of any procedures that are experimental;
- A statement that the research may involve risks to the subject that are currently unforeseeable;
- Anticipated circumstances under which the subject's participation may be terminated without regard to the subject's consent;
- Any additional costs to the subject that may result from participation;
- The consequences of a subject's decision to withdraw from the research and procedures for orderly termination of participation by the subject;
- A statement that significant new findings developed during the course of the research which may relate to the subject's willingness to participate will be provided to the subject; and
- The approximate number of subjects involved in the study.
In projects where subjects are determined to be at risk, the actual procedure utilized in obtaining "legally effective informed consent" must be fully documented. This is accomplished by using a written consent form embodying all of the elements of information required for the project. The consent form must be read by or to the subject or her/his legally authorized representative and signed by the person giving consent. A copy of the consent form should be given to the person signing the form and the signed form must be maintained in the investigator's files for an indefinite period of time following completion of the study.
The Institutional Review Board has designated a sample Volunteer Agreement form (PDF) that can be used as a guide in preparing the consent form that will actually be used in the research project or activity. PLEASE NOTE that the final form that you administer must first be approved by the IRB before it can be legally administered.
In rare cases, where these procedures will surely invalidate important objectives of the project, IRB approval of modified procedures may be sought.
In projects where risk to subjects has been determined to be no more than minimal, provision may be made for oral or written presentation and consent. Under this procedure, the subject is informed of those basic elements of consent which are applicable to low risk procedures and no signed document is necessary on the part of the subject. However, the Board must approve a sample copy of the presentation. A major exception to this policy occurs when research involves persons under the age of 18 as subjects, in which case, written consent from a parent or a guardian is usually required.
In some cases, the IRB may approve a consent procedure which does not include, or which alters some or all of the elements of informed consent or may entirely waive the requirement to obtain informed consent.

A recent study says more Americans are suffering 'violent deaths' than those who live in other wealthy countries and some of the research points to firearms. As our Elyse Mickalonis explains, the study comes at a time when the country is divided on gun control, but State Police say responsible gun-owners can help stop some of the violence.
NEW YORK -- Almost a month after the deadly shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the country is in the middle of an intense gun control debate.
"We've got to crack down on illegal guns, access to military-style weapons, large numbers of rounds and invest in mental health," said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, (D) New York.
Now, a recent study finds widespread gun ownership and unsafe storage are to blame for more Americans dying from violence than citizens of any other wealthy nation. The National Research Council and Institute of Medicine study found there are six violent deaths per 100,000 Americans, and that the U.S. is home to 35 to 50 percent of the world's civilian-owned firearms. But some argue not all gun owners are irresponsible. "For upstate New Yorkers, guns are cultural. My family hunts and fishes, it's a whole different idea or feeling than say a place like New York City," said Rep. Richard Hanna, (R) 24th Congressional District.
Still, researchers say the second leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults is homicide and that a large number of those deaths involve guns. Last March, Edward O'Rourke, the father of a 12-year-old boy who fatally shot and killed his friend, Nicholas Naumkin, pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child after he left his gun and ammunition in an unsecured part of the house where the boys found it. Troopers say tragic deaths like Naumkin's can be avoided if parents take the right steps.
"Gun locks, cable box, or you can use lock boxes or gun safes, there's a lot of opportunities and way to keep a weapon safe. Another thing we need to stress is that guns and ammunition should never be stored together. Each of those things should be stored separately and there shouldn't be any ammunition in the gun," said Lt. Erik Dauber, Bureau of Criminal Investigations NYSP.
Along with that, State Police say educating yourself and your family about the dangers of guns could save a life.
The study also found that Americans are involved in more drunk driving accidents and suffer high rates of AIDS, infant mortality, and drug-related deaths.

8 Chili Recipes to Spice Up Your Winter
Loading Comments...
Here's something you already know: chili is just about unbeatable in the wintertime. It's hot, spicy, thick, steamy, and sometimes exotic—all in one pot.
The only problem is there's probably a chili recipe for every day of the year, and most of them are pretty unremarkable. There's nothing wrong with plain old chili, but variety is the spice of life, and chili's supposed to be spicy, right? We found 8 of our favorites; to the naked eye, they might look like your mom's chili, but look closer and you'll see that they make use of everything from dark beer to Texas beef brisket. Consider this our Chili Hall of Fame. A Parthenon of Chili Gods. A Chili Babylon, the Valhalla of Chilies. You get the picture.

2012 European Grand Prix takes the cake in Valencia [spoilers]
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Jun 24th, 2012 at 5:31PM
Never has there been a season in Formula One as hotly contested as this one. Not only does the field contain an unprecedented six world champions -- accounting for a whopping fourteen titles between them -- but each of the seven grands prix so far this year has been won by a different driver. And each time the leaders play leap-frog in the standings. The question has been how much longer this could possibly go on. Surely one driver would emerge as the clear frontrunner take a second checkered flag home on Sunday. Right? Keep reading to find out.... Read More

An ex-Marine is snowbound, a store manager is brutalized and a single mother is shot repeatedly. See how they prevail and miraculously pull themselves through.
- An all-new series from BIOGRAPHY® celebrates the survival of ordinary people.
- Survive this: a slit throat, sub-freezing temperatures, five bullet wounds.
- How would you react if confronted with death?
Ordinary people face overwhelming, life-threatening circumstances... and live to tell us their tales.
Whether through accident, the elements or violence, there are a million ways to die. This stunning new series transports you to the do-or-die moments when regular people manage to cheat almost certain death. Each episode recounts riveting individual stories of determination, triumph and sheer luck. Hear real stories told by real people who can't believe they're alive to say "I SURVIVED...."
Denise McLain was a Dollar Store manager in Jacksonville who fought for her life with two knife-wielding robbers in a store hold-up. Stabbed dozens of times, wrist slashed, throat cut, only the thought of her father at her funeral gave her the strength to outwit her assailants.
A former Marine turned executive, Nick Williams got caught in an unexpected blizzard while skiing on an unfamiliar mountain. With little more than training and personal resolve, Nick faced days of subfreezing temperatures and whiteout conditions. Would rescue ever arrive?
And Leonilda was a single mother charmed by Luis, a jealous powder-keg of a boyfriend. During a drug-fuelled binge of rage and paranoia, Luis abducted her and, to keep her from escaping, shot her five times, once in the head. Through it all Leonilda was sure Luis was going to kill her, but she knew she had to live to protect her son.
Hear from Denise, Nick and Leonilda as they recount their incredible stories of adversity and survival in this latest gut-churning episode of I SURVIVED....

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills are back in primetime Thursday as they play host to longtime rival Miami. Ralph Wilson Stadium is once again the place to be as the Bills host a night game.
For the first time in four years, NFL football is under the lights at Ralph Wilson Stadium. There is a lot on the line in this one. Thursday night's game against the Dolphins is basically the season.
The Bills have six losses already and can really only afford one or two more losses, if that. The Dolphins are a team many picked to be at the bottom of the AFC East this year. Instead, it's the Bills, currently looking up at the Dolphins and desperate for a win.
"We are disappointed. We are not where we want to be," said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. "I think I kind of said that the past few weeks and not been able to turn it around the past few weeks with some tough games. We have to start winning at some point, and this is a great week to do it, a great week to start it off and get on a little streak here." "I think the biggest thing for us is be confident, focused, and like I said, go out there and make it happen. That is the biggest thing. You sit here and dwell on everything else, we are going to be sitting right where we are," said defensive end Mario Williams.
If it seems like it's been a while since the Bills played a home game, it has. The last game at the Ralph was against the Titans, almost a month ago.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. The most commonly diagnosed behavior disorder in young people, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that ADHD affects an estimated 9 percent of children aged 3-17 and 2-4 percent of adults.
Although ADHD has its onset and is usually diagnosed in childhood, it is not a disorder limited to childrenADHD often persists into adolescence and adulthood and is frequently not diagnosed until later years.
There are actually thought to be three different types of ADHD, each with different symptoms: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive/impulsive and combined. Diagnosing ADHD requires a comprehensive evaluation and cannot be done with one single test. Read more.
A key aspect of treating ADHD is taking a multimodal approach. This means utilizing multiple methods for treatment including medical, educational, behavioral and psychological. Read more.

ADHD may affect each child or youth differently, but it is important for parents to consider such areas as school, coexisting conditions and parenting strategies. Read more.

In fact, the Biotic Arch will release zero emissions and help Taichung's City Government achieve their overall reduction policies. The new building was designed to build a bridge between Taichung's historical legacy and a newer, greener lifestyle, culture, and respect for biodiversity. But those who are claustrophobic or "chlorophobic" might not want to take up residence here since R. Callebaut has created close green quarters that almost force the kind of peaceful, cooperative co-habitation necessary for sustainable urban communities.
As city populations grow in the coming decades, clever proposals like these will help us to adapt with the changes that are sure to come with said growth.

G3 Targa
Not the binding you want if you are an aggressive telemarker. Was a good binding to learn on, if only because it was hard to ski! This was my first telemark binding, and I used it for about half a season, probably 50 days. It was used at the time I bought it. I was impressed that they held up, given that I had heard a lot of horror stories of these breaking. First off, let's start with the pros: These are super light, super easy to mount and switch out parts as necessary, and they work. The… Full review
TwentyTwo Designs Axl
Absolute best binding for touring and performance. Easy switching between modes and resistance levels. Sturdy. This is the perfect backcountry binding for the true telemarker. First off, we have to start with the performance. The free release touring mode makes going up a cinch because you have zero resistance on your heel. It's very easy to switch between modes, you just use your pole and the ski can stay on. Once in ski mode, it skis like an aggressive alpine Tele binding. It is not quite as… Full review
Black Diamond Compactor Poles
Love the trekking poles. I use to hike a lot, but with aging my pace has really slowed down. These poles are so much better than using a cane for any walking you do. Because of the perfect balance they create you can move easily wherever you use them. However, I have lost my manual and I need advice about how to put on the powder baskets. Help??? Full review
Armada JJ
Bottom Line: The Armada JJ is a really fun ski. It floats well at 115 underfoot, but with such early taper and rocker it has a really surfy feeling. It really can handle anything you toss at it. I highly recommend this ski to ANYONE who is looking at getting into rocker, who rides powder/crud at least 70% of the time, or who wants a sick backcountry jib ski! Pros: "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." Seriously, they are probably the best 1 ski quiver ski that I have ever handled… Full review
Armada Magic J
This is hands down one of the best big mountain powder slayers on the market. It is extremely versatile given its width, and Armada nailed the flex profile in the 190cm length. For years I was begging Armada to make a super JJ (fatter, longer, stiffer, modified rocker, etc.)...They finally came out with the AK JJ, but it was just longer and only slightly stiffer. I was bummed... until they released the Magic J.... and it was everything I ever wanted and more! I always felt that the regular Armada… Full review
Salomon Rocker2 108
Awesome lightweight, extremely versatile, stiff touring ski that you can use all day inbounds. These are an awesome touring ski for someone that is looking for a ski that can charge inbouds as well as out of bounds. I use this ski about 40% of the time as an inbounds crud crusher, and 60% of the time as a backcountry powder ski. Extremely stable at speed, stomp landings hard and easily, but extremely versatile. I used to spend about 90% of my days on the Armada JJ, which has to be one of the most… Full review
POC Lobes
These are the best goggles. They don't fog up easily. The lens is easily removable. The frameless design has inspired a lot of copy cats. The peripheral vision on them is HUGE. They are very durable. I had a pair with a defective lens and POC sent me a new lens for free. Great customer service. Very unique, most people don't have these and they look awesome!! I used to be an Oakley snob. I owned five pairs of Crowbars. But I just like these so much better. The optics seem on-par, but these offer… Full review

Rossignol SOUL 7
Does nearly everything brilliantly. There was a time when I took three pairs of skis with me to the mountains: piste, powder, and touring skis. Each was ideal for their niches, and I really couldn't imagine a day when one ski could do all three. Although I have tested far from every type of ski, the Soul 7 just nails it for me. A terrific carving ski, even/especially on boilerplate pistes, just a dream in powder, crud, breakable crust, and good for touring. If it fails to fit the 'one size fits… Full review

Electrohydraulic lithotripsy is one of many methods to treat kidney stones or bile stones. It uses an electrohydraulic device with a flexible probe to deliver electricity that breaks apart the stones.
Reasons for Procedure
Lithotripsy is used to remove kidney stones that:
- Are too large to pass
- Cause constant pain
- Block the flow of urine
- Cause an ongoing infection
- Damage surrounding tissue
- Cause bleeding
This procedure can also be used to remove stones in the bile duct or the pancreatic duct.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Damage or irritation to tissue or surrounding structures
- Blood in the urine
- Infection
- Pain as the stone fragments pass
- Failure of stone fragments to pass, requiring additional surgery
- Need for more treatments
- Reaction to anesthesia
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
- Smoking
- Drinking
- Chronic disease such as diabetes or obesity
Your risk of complications may increase if you have bleeding disorders or are taking medications that reduce blood clotting.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Before the procedure, your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam and medical history
- Blood and urine tests
- Imaging studies to find the location of the stone
Other things to remember before the procedure:
- Arrange for a ride home from the care center.
- If instructed by your doctor, do not eat or drink for eight hours before the procedure.
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure. These medications may include:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners
- Anti-platelets
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep during the procedure. You will not feel any pain.
Description of the Procedure
Your doctor will place a tiny flexible probe through your urethra and up the ureter toward the stone. The probe has two electrodes at the end. Images will help the doctor locate the stone. After the stone is located, the doctor will use the device. An electrical spark will break the stone. A special basket or forceps may be used to grab the stone fragments and remove them. The stone fragments may be allowed to pass in the urine.
Depending on the size of the stone, more than one probe may be used. A stent may be placed in the ureter. It will help protect the lining while the stone fragments pass or damage is being repaired.
There may be fragments that are too large to pass after the procedure. These can be treated again with lithotripsy.
How Long Will It Take?
30-60 minutes depending on the size and location of the stone
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. There may be some pain and discomfort afterward as the broken stones pass. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure is usually done in an outpatient setting. In most cases, there will be no hospital stay.
Post-procedure Care
- You will be monitored as you recover from anesthesia.
- Pain medication will be given.
- You may be asked to get up and walk around before leaving the care center.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
Follow your doctor's instructions, which may include:
- Drinking plenty of water in the weeks after the procedure. This will help the stone pieces to pass.
- Resuming daily activities within one to two days.
- You may experience some pain. Take pain medication as directed to manage any discomfort.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Inability to urinate
- Excess blood in your urine
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Nausea and/or vomiting that you cannot control with the medications you were given
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you were given
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.
