Review of research proposal and additional safeguards

Explanation:

Proposed research will be reviewed by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), and institutional assurances of compliance with the regulations will be put in place.

"When some or all of the subjects are likely to be vulnerable to coercion or undue influence, such as children, prisoners, pregnant women, mentally disabled persons, or economically or educationally disadvantaged persons, additional safeguards have been included in the study to protect the rights and welfare of these subjects." IRB requires that research that has to do with vulnerable individuals such as this would have to provide for additional safeguards.
