Increasingly, social, behavioral, and educational research (SBER) incorporates techniques and devices that are more traditionally found in biomedical research, creating challenges for IRBs in determining whether a study falls under US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight. The FDA’s authority includes drugs, biologics, and medical devices. FDA oversight may also extend to mobile medical applications and other innovations, which can create challenging regulatory questions as to whether a study falls under FDA jurisdiction.

During this 90-minute webinar, speakers will pair key regulatory concepts with illustrative scenarios to provide a broad overview of essential FDA issues for IRBs reviewing relevant SBER. Speakers will:

• Define several fundamental regulatory concepts present in the FDA regulations—including drug, Investigational New Drug (IND), Investigational Device Exemption (IDE), significant risk (SR), non-significant risk (NSR), dietary supplement, medical device, and mobile medical app—and explore application of these definitions to SBER
• Discuss factors to consider when determining whether an SBER protocol involves FDA-regulated drugs or devices and is therefore subject to FDA oversight
• Examine a diverse set of SBER cases in areas such as mobile apps, exploratory devices, food and dietary supplements, and transcranial magnetic stimulation
• Explore other relevant IRB issues, including the application of different levels of review that can be applied to FDA-regulated SBER and considerations for informed consent

This webinar will review basic FDA definitions and terminology.
