Answer: The primary responsibility of oversight bodies (such as an IRB or IACUC) is to assess legal-regulatory compliance, and if applicable, to protect research subjects.

Explanation: Oversight bodies are an essential regulatory institution, which enhances quality in regulatory processes and their reforms. Their mission is to supervise, co-ordinate, challenge and advice regulators while promoting reform, regulatory quality and its benefits.
