question / pregunta:
Hi there! I wrote an undergraduate thesis on doulas and childbirth in college. I graduated almost two years ago now, but want to continue my research independently. While in school, I had to submit my research proposal to an Institutional Review Board. I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing both ethically and legally if I continue my studies, but I have no idea where to turn to for an IRB approval without an academic institution at my fingertips. I'm not sure if this is something you all can answer, but do you know of any independent IRB's or information for independent researchers? Thanks so much!
