Policy on Protection of Human Subjects
C) Level III Research and Review (more than minimal risk and protected subjects)
Nature of the Study:Research published with the identity of the subject, photographs, video or audio recordings, invasive collection of body fluid (lymph and blood -except blood from healthy adults) or tissue samples, manipulative observations including deception, or stressful physiological recordings fall into this category. Research involving subjects under the age of 18, subjects unable to provide informed consent due to cognitive impairment, and subjects who are under the professional care of the researcher, fall into this category. Procedures which are potentially harmful to the subjects (even if the researcher views the harm as not unreasonable) are also subject to Level III review.
