Given the nature of our constantly changing human world, there is value in having flexibility with the interpretation and application of Expedited Category 7. However, with such a broad definition, it can be difficult for novice and expert reviewers alike to precisely know whether the application is appropriate to be reviewed at the expedited level, whether the research activities may be exempt from the HHS regulations, or in finding that full committee review is needed. Examination of the regulatory language in this session will provide a better understanding of what/who this category applies to and offer insight into navigating considerations for protecting the participants involved.
