This article presents a review of the literature, summarizes current initiatives, and provides a heuristic for assessing the effectiveness of a range of institutional review board (IRB) collaborative strategies that can reduce the regulatory burden of ethics review while ensuring protection of human subjects, with a particular focus on international research. Broad adoption of IRB collaborative strategies will reduce regulatory burdens posed by overlapping oversight mechanisms and has the potential to enhance human subjects protections.
本文对文献进行了综述，总结了当前的举措，并提供了一种启发式方法，用于评估一系列机构审查委员会（IRB）协作策略的有效性，这些策略可以减轻伦理审查的监管负担，同时确保对人类受试者的保护，尤其侧重于国际研究。广泛采用IRB协作策略将减轻重叠监督机制带来的监管负担，并有可能加强对人类受试者的保护。
