Answer:
Research is performed under both state and federal regulations.
State regulations vary depending on the state in which the research is being conducted, but typically involve obtaining institutional review board (IRB) approval, ensuring the safety and welfare of the subjects, and respecting their rights to privacy and confidentiality.
Federal regulations include the Common Rule (45 CFR 46) and the regulations of various federal agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These regulations provide further guidance on the conduct of research involving human subjects, animal subjects, and other sensitive areas such as gene therapy and stem cell research.
Overall, research must adhere to both state and federal regulations to ensure the ethical and lawful conduct of scientific inquiry.
