We report here on the challenges of obtaining institutional review board (IRB) coverage in a multi-partner, community-based participatory research (CBPR) project that entails several components: household air and dust sampling as well as biomonitoring; reporting of aggregate study results through peer-reviewed publications; media outreach and other dissemination strategies; and reporting of individual results to each study participant. Individual-level reporting raises unique challenges for some academic IRBs, many of which are not accustomed to such disclosure. It is also difficult for academic IRBs to approve research projects that involve multiple partners, especially when one or more of the collaborators are community organizations that are principal investigators that do not have their own IRB. Although these issues may appear too diverse to discuss together, they fit together because they are a real-life example of how IRB issues came up in a specific research partnership. It is not accidental that these issues arise together; CBPR raises multiple issues that distinguish it from solely academic research. We discuss how we have navigated our IRB strategy and show how addressing these IRB issues is becoming increasingly important, as environmental justice and environmental health activists increasingly use individual report-back in their research.
