IRB Review

     There are still some questions with answers in the blue note boxes that will need to be moved to the question answer fields. (RESEARCH DESIGN FIELD)

·         Anonymous will need to be changed to confidential consistently throughout the application and supporting documents.

·         Directional text for building the consent form as the student has been left on the final draft of the consent form.

·         The consent form has no disagree option.

·         Only the final copy of the Consent Form should be left uploaded to the application. Remove the excess.

·         The consent form has language that could create a bias response to the research. This will need to be removed.

·         The recruitment material is not recruitment material; it is more like a project summary. We will need to see all the different forms of recruitment for what will be posted on online platforms and offline platforms.

·         There is no link to a survey or request to participate on any of the recruitment materials.

·         The recruitment process is too vague. What online and offline platforms will be used? Be specific.

·         How will people in offline platforms get to the online survey?

·         The survey uses terms such as liberals, Trumpism, and other terms that can vary by individual perception or are not truly easy to understand the meaning.

·         Some of the survey questions are not appropriate yes or no questions.

·         The answer for “How will subjects be explicitly informed if data will NOT be anonymous?” does not make sense.

The IRB Committee is suggesting to complete the paper without creating a new survey. Indicators of neo-liberal policy can easily be gathered without surveying individuals, depending on which factors you want to highlight.
