If your research includes human participants, please note the following guidelines.
All research using human subjects needs to be evaluated by your current institution’s Internal Review Board. Some work that Food-Fueled publishes including oral histories, historical research, legal research, and journalistic research/writing does not require an IRB, even where participants aren’t anonymized. Additionally, students from the American University Wasted Food course will have research that is likely exempt from IRB. If you have questions about how to proceed, please reach out to your institution’s IRB office. The editors and faculty advisors for Food-Fueled can also help to give suggestions for how to proceed with the IRB process.
