Institutional review boards (IRBs) are panels charged with
protecting the rights of humans who participate in research studies
ranging from biomedicine to social science. Regulating Human
Research provides a fresh look at these influential and sometimes
controversial boards, tracing their historic transformation from
academic committees to compliance bureaucracies: non-governmental
offices where specialized staff define and apply federal
regulations. In opening the black box of contemporary IRB
decision-making, author Sarah Babb argues that compliance
bureaucracy is an adaptive response to the dynamics and
dysfunctions of American governance. Yet this solution has had
unforeseen consequences, including the rise of a profitable ethics
review industry.
