Answer

If a proposed study qualifies for exemption, federal regulations do not require review at the foreign site where it will be conducted.

Explanation:

A great deal of research in the social and behavioral sciences may qualify for exemption, depending upon institutional policy. If a proposed study qualifies for exemption, federal regulations do not require review at the foreign site where it will be conducted. Federal regulations do not require exempt research to be reviewed by an institution’s IRB or an institutional official – those decisions are left to institutional policy.
