Updates to the “Common Rule”: Implications for International Service-Learning and Community Engagement Research

SUMMARY

This article provides an overview of recent changes to 45 C.F.R. § 46, the policy that undergirds human-subjects protections in research and that is manifested in institutional review board (IRB) review of research. Originally published in 1991, this policy was updated on January 19, 2017, with the changes set to be implemented in early 2018. This article discusses the unique process of engaging with local IRBs and addresses how updates to federal policy regarding international research may impact service-learning and community-engaged scholarship. Specifically, researchers should be familiar with regulations outside of the United States and engage thoughtfully with the study design process such that IRB submission and review are most effective and expedient. These goals are fortified by considering the updated regulatory framework as justice-oriented.
