Varieties of compliance --Conclusion --Appendix: research informants --Notes --Bibliography --IndexInstitutional review boards (IRBs) are panels charged with protecting the rights of humans who participate in research studies ranging from biomedicine to social science. Regulating Human Research provides a fresh look at these influential and sometimes controversial boards, tracing their historic transformation from academic committees to compliance bureaucracies: non-governmental offices where specialized staff define and apply federal regulations. In opening the black box of contemporary IRB decision-making, author Sarah Babb argues that compliance bureaucracy is an adaptive response to the dynamics and dysfunctions of American governance. Yet this solution has had unforeseen consequences, including the rise of a profitable ethics review industry.Institutional review boards (Medicine)United StatesHuman experimentation in medicineLaw and legislationUnited StatesMedical ethics committeesUnited StatesBureaucracyUnited StatesInstitutional Review Boards (IRBs).bureaucracy.compliance.delegated governance.organizations.professions.regulation.work.Institutional review boards (Medicine)Human experimentation in medicineLaw and legislationMedical ethics committeesBureaucracy174.28AK 24400DE-16/s17-20rvkBabb Sarah L.1521772MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795111703321Regulating human research3761155UNINA
