A human subjects determination isn’t really an approval, just a note that the research isn’t HSR, which it sounds like this wasn’t.

- bluGill 5y agoWell it was, but not the type of thing that HSR would normally worry about.
- op00to 5y agoIt absolutely was human subject research. Try for yourself! Here's the NIH's rubric: https://grants.nih.gov/policy/humansubjects/hs-decision.htm https://grants.nih.gov/policy/humansubjects/hs-decision.htm for q1, the study collects data like observations of behavior, so we must answer yes. for q2, none of the exemptions apply - it's not an educational setting, they're not sending a survey, it's not an observation of the public - they're interacting, and it's clear that these interactions are not benign - they have clear impact on the community. None of these exemptions apply. Based on this flow, it's clear the study involves "human research".
