The NU IRB does not typically provide oversight for non-NU collaborators on exempt research. Collaborators under the oversight of another IRB or research ethics program should follow that program’s requirements, which may include getting its own exemption determination before they take part.
When collaborators are not under another program’s oversight, the NU study team is responsible for making sure they are prepared, supervised, and following the procedures the IRB reviewed. The exempt application asks how you plan to provide that oversight, and this guidance will help you plan it.
