Zachary M. Schrag, “Unchecked Boxes, 2006 and 2010,” zacharyschrag.com, 5 August 2010 This document lists U.S. colleges and universities that submitted federalwide assurances (FWAs) that did not pledge to apply federal human subject protection regulations to all research regardless of funding. Data for 2006 came from a list of colleges and universities not voluntarily extending FWAs to all research, provided by the Department of Health and Human Services in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by the American Association of University Professors. I downloaded this list from the Society for Medical Anthropology website <medanthro.net> in 2008, though in June 2010 I could not find it again on that site. Data for 2010 were extracted from a spreadsheet showing all FWAs (not just those for colleges and universities) with unchecked boxes as of 20 April 2010, supplied to me by the Division of Policy and Assurances, Office for Human Research Protections. Since the spreadsheet did not differentiate between institutions of higher learning and other institutions with FWAs (e.g, clinics, hospitals, health departments, commercial labs), I searched the spreadsheet for “College,” “University,” and their abbreviations. In doing so, I may have overlooked some institutions of higher learning. I have posted both the 2006 and 2010 lists to my website: http://zacharyschrag.com/institutional-review-boards/irbdocuments/ I created the comparisons manually, since abbreviations and names did not always match up on the two lists. By my count, 162 colleges and universities had unchecked boxes in 2006, and 207 had them in 2010. (While the AAUP list has 174 entries, 12 of these are duplicates.) But rather than being a simple addition of 45 institutions, these numbers reflect a net increase amid considerable turnover.
