DNP Scholarly projects require review for scientific merit and human subject protection. Rapid growth of DNP programs and projects has increased Institutional Review Board (IRB) burden and increased the length of project approval time when most DNP scholarly projects are quality improvement (QI) projects and not deemed Human Subjects Research (HSR).
Develop a process and describe the rationale for creating and implementing a Project Ethical Review Committee (PERC) in the School of Nursing and to evaluate the experience of the first cohort of submissions.
Committee was formed using expert consensus approach, in collaboration with IRB. Standards of Procedures and training materials created.
100 projects submitted to committee; 95 deemed QI (95%) and 5 projects considered HSR (5%). First 94 projects were reviewed, and approval letters sent within 8 weeks.
This paper discusses how PERC ensures rigorous and ethical review process for standardization, timeliness, and efficiency.
DNP 学术项目需要进行科学价值和人类受试者保护的审查。DNP 项目和计划的快速增长增加了机构审查委员会（IRB）的负担，并且当大多数 DNP 学术项目是质量改进（QI）项目而不被视为人类主题研究（HSR）时，项目批准时间延长。
在护理学院开发一个流程，并描述创建和实施项目伦理审查委员会（PERC）的基本原理，并评估第一批提交材料的经验。
委员会是使用专家共识方法与 IRB 合作组建的。制定了程序标准和培训材料。
向委员会提交了 100 个项目；95 个被认为是 QI（95%），5 个被认为是 HSR（5%）。前 94 个项目进行了审查，并在 8 周内发送了批准信。
本文讨论了 PERC 如何确保标准化、及时性和效率的严格和道德审查过程。
