An IRB evaluates toxicology studies by considering several factors:
Scientific Merit: The study must have a sound scientific basis and contribute to the field of toxicology. Risk-Benefit Analysis: The potential benefits of the study must outweigh the risks involved. Participant Selection: The selection process must be fair and equitable, ensuring that no group is unfairly targeted or excluded. Data Confidentiality: Measures must be in place to protect the confidentiality of participant data.
