RE: Human Subjects Research Determination for “ACF Evidence Capacity Support – ORR Engagement” (1838.005)

Dear Ms. Scott,

Thank you for submitting a human subjects research determination request for ““ACF Evidence Capacity Support – ORR Engagement” (1838.005). The IRB has reviewed your request and determined that this study does not constitute human subject research as the project consists of providing guidance on how to revise performance data collection and internal performance measurement activities for the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and will not contribute to generalizable knowledge. Therefore, you do not need to submit the study protocol for IRB review.

Warm regards,

 

Deborah Temkin

Board Co-Chair
