| Deception Guidance | Please review this guidance for additional information on the use of deception or incomplete disclosure in research and the requirements to meet in such research practices. | |
| Research that involves Deception | There may be an occasion when to answer a research question, a researcher may need to use an element of deception. By default, the IRB will review all protocols that involve an element of deception at a fully convened IRB meeting. Also, note that Federal regulations prohibit the use of deceptive techniques that place participants at greater than minimal risk. | |

| Internet Research | Check out these tip sheets if you are planning to conduct research online. SACHRP Internet Research “Investigators and IRBs should remember that the Belmont Report’s fundamental principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice are as applicable to Internet research as they are to any other form of human subjects research. Regardless of how the regulations may be interpreted in individual studies, adherence to these fundamental principles is important to encourage public trust in the ethical conduct of Internet research.
