What is the role of IRBs/IECs in research?

To monitor financial budgets of the research
To oversee research involving human subjects to assure the protection of their rights, safety, and welfare
To ensure the research is funded properly
To publish research findings

The correct answer is: To oversee research involving human subjects to assure the protection of their rights, safety, and welfare

IRBs/IECs (Institutional Review Boards / Independent Ethics Committees) play a crucial role in research as they oversee studies involving human subjects to ensure their rights, safety, and welfare are protected. Option A is incorrect as monitoring financial budgets is the responsibility of funding agencies or financial departments, not IRBs/IECs. Option C is also incorrect as their role is not to ensure proper funding, but rather to review and approve the ethical aspects of the research. Option D is incorrect as publishing research findings is the responsibility of the researchers, not IRBs/IECs. Overall, IRBs/IECs are responsible for upholding ethical standards and protecting the rights of human subjects in research studies.
