The internal review process: implications for the novice clinical researcher.
The purpose of this article, directed at first-time clinical researchers, is to describe the internal review board process of one clinical research facility and to provide an example of its protocols for conducting clinical research. After a brief history depicting the need for Internal Review Boards, the review process itself, is discussed. Emphasis is placed on the patient's medical/legal rights and safety. Equipped with an understanding of why the review process is necessary and with examples of the review board criteria, the nurse researcher has the tools to begin the research project.
