I'm on the IRB at my university. Because of what I research and the way I gather data, nearly all of my research is exempt or at least expedited through review. Today, we met and discussed a proposal from someone in Sports Medicine. The proposal included a dietary supplement and a series of medical tests. After reading all of those descriptions in this 50ish page IRB submission, I'm glad I research my area. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad there are people who feel passionate about medical research. But I'm happy not to be one of them.
