Answer:

The IRB will not review this study because it is not research as defined by the federal regulations.

Step-by-step explanation:

his proposal is obtaining data from human subjects, but this project is not research, because it is not "a systematic investigation including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge." This project will not be reviewed by the IRB.
