The purpose of the IRB proposal is to answer four key questions of why your research is important, how you intend to conduct the research, who will take part in your study, and how you will manage experimental data once you have collected it. Just as with the other chapters you will write as you work through this process, the IRB application can be broken down into a few key components. Adequately addressing these four key components will give your IRB confidence in your ability to proceed with the study in a safe and ethical manner.
