IRB text
IRB text for online cognitive testing
An IRB application asks how the testing platform runs your study and handles participant data. ConductCognition writes that text for each study you build, from the study's own tests, visits and consent.
What the IRB text covers
The text has seven sections, one for each part of an IRB application that asks about the platform. Each study's Documents tab covers all seven for that study.
- Study procedures
- Identifiability
- Data collected
- Confidentiality and data security
- Data ownership, use and retention
- Protocol version control
- Vendor
A sample paragraph
The Study procedures paragraph for a study of one test, Choice Reaction Time. Your study's text describes your own tests, visits and consent.
Participants will complete the Choice Reaction Time test online through ConductCognition, a browser-based cognitive testing platform from ConductScience. The test will take about 3 to 4 minutes. The test is timed. Timed tests need a desktop or laptop with a mouse or trackpad. A device check runs before the first test and stops a device the protocol cannot run on. ConductCognition runs in the participant's web browser. Nothing is installed.
How participant data is handled
Each study's documents give the full detail.
Encryption
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
No name fields
The participant pages have no field for names or phone numbers.
Deletion
The study owner can delete a single result or a whole study's data.
Security documentation is available on request.
