The initial information for this document was adopted with permission from the George Washington University Committee on Human Research Institutional Review Board. The following document has been modified to reflect the University of Ӱ Fairbanks Institutional Review Boards intent. Program Assessment / Quality Improvement / Quality Assurance consist of activities undertaken to measure effectiveness of a process, program or service, the results of which are to be shared only with individuals associated with the process, program, or service being evaluated. In contrast, research consists of a systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable public knowledge, the results of which are typically shared broadly. Results of the Program Assessment / Quality Improvement / Quality Assurance are intended for a narrow, internal audience, largely restricted to those directly associated with the activity, usually to make revisions, recommendations or to evaluate the effectiveness of the program or activities (this can include progress reports to funding agencies); whereas research is intended for a broader audience, especially persons outside the inquiry activity. The Ӱ IRB has adopted the following view: if activities both measure the effectiveness of a process, program or service AND are designed or intended to be shared with individuals or groups outside of the process, program or services, then the activities constitute human subject research and require IRB review and approval. ResearchPA/QI/QAPurposeTo make a careful, systematic, patient study, investigation or probing inquiry in some field of knowledge.Evaluate a process, program, or systemStarting PointThere is a formal research question, literature review.An established set of standardsBenefitsKnowledge sought need not benefit subjects involved in study.Knowledge that is sought, directly benefits the process/program/system.Risks/BurdensMay put subjects at riskNo risk, with exception of possible privacy/confidentiality concernsData CollectionSystematic or exploratory methodsSystematic data collection limited to aspects of a particular process, program or system.End PointEstablish certain facts, discover phenomena or broad principles that contribute to public, discipline-based or interdisciplinary body of knowledge.Improve a specific program/process/system or some specific portion of one.Testing/AnalysisDescribe frequency and importance of factors, inquire about existence and strength of relationships among factors, determine temporal order of factors, establish likelihood of certain outcomes. Compare the program/process/system to established set of standardsIntended ResultShare findings with individuals associated with the investigation and individuals not associated with the investigation; disseminate in public forums, publications or other mediaShare findings with only those individuals associated with the evaluated process/program/system. If Program Assessment / Quality Improvement / Quality Assurance activities do not constitute research, proceed with the activities without seeking further IRB guidance.
