Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) play a critical role in maintaining the ethical integrity of research by reviewing research protocols to ensure, among other things, that research participants receive safe and ethical treatment and provide informed consent, and that the potential for a conflict of interest is minimized. The purpose of this review was to catalog the literature on issues pertaining to IRBs, to identify the issue with the greatest number of published studies which might inform VA policy, and to assess the evidence regarding that issue, which were conflict of interest policies and the activities of the IRB.Evidence-based synthesis program (Series)Maintaining research integrityConflict of interestsUnited StatesfastTechnical reports.lcgftConflict of interests.342.0684Shekelle Paul G.1236354Shekelle Paul G.United States.Department of Veterans Affairs.Health Services Research and Development Service,West Los Angeles VA Medical Center.Evidence-Based Synthesis Program Center.Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (U.S.)Evidence-based Synthesis Program (U.S.)NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910717370203321Maintaining research integrity3442048UNINA
