The UNH Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research recently updated its guidance concerning when IRB approval is needed for studies that involve the use of existing/secondary data derived from human subjects.

If you conduct externally sponsored research and you, your spouse/domestic partner or dependent children have a significant financial interest that could impact, or be impacted by, your research, then you must comply with UNH’s policies on financial conflict of interest in research (FCOIR).  For example, if you have an ownership stake in a company and your externally-funded research could benefit the company, this is a financial conflict of interest in research.
