Submit and renew an IRB protocol

2016-01-11T17:48:01Z

Steven Gomez: irb link

This page contains information about: (1) submitting an IRB protocol for review before starting [http://www.brown.edu/research/institutional-review-board-irb human subjects research at Brown], and (2) renewing an IRB protocol that is ongoing (e.g., annual report). This page is written to someone who is preparing the documentation needed to submit or renew a proposal.
Documentation about IRB proposals run by the VRL is kept the filesystem at: <tt>/pro/graphics/proposals/brown/</tt>.

== Submit New Protocols ==

''This section is under construction.''

== Renew an Ongoing IRB-Approved Protocol ==

This section is written based on our renewal process for the protocol "Quantifying the Benefits of Scientific Visualization", but these steps could apply to other ongoing protocols.

In general, the IRB contacts PIs annually who have ongoing approved protocols (ones that have not been officially "exempt"). The point of the contact is to either renew the protocol if the experiment(s) it covers are ongoing, or officially close the book on the protocol. In either case, the PI has to submit some paperwork to the IRB, usually a month before the official expiration date of the protocol, or the protocol renewal will lapse and cannot be used.

To begin work on this paperwork, the PI should receive a half-filled in page from the IRB with some of the metadata (PI name, protocol name, expiration date, continuing review number...). In my experience, the best way to finish the report is to run through the following steps.

# Before the deadline (hopefully a few weeks), contact all students/researchers who potentially ran a study using this protocol in the last calendar year. Emailing dhlgroup is a good start, but also check with David if he has other students who ran experiments using this protocol who might not be on that list.
#* Ask them to email you a title for their experiment, the number of participants they ran (all of whom should have signed a consent form), a summary of activities and findings, and a summary of any unexpected side effects (e.g., people getting dizzy looking at VR). When you can confirm that you've accounted for all experiments using this protocol, move to the next step.
# Double-check that the form has correct info for this year's renewal.
#* You can compare it to a review report from last year, e.g., for 2016 last year's report is at <tt>/pro/graphics/proposals/brown/review_01_15/full_2015-01-12.pdf</tt>.
#* Make sure the appropriate fields have been copied over and incremented where necessary (i.e., review number)
# Question 1 asks about the Protocol Status.
#* For a renewal, check the NO box that asks whether this "project has been completed since the last IRB approval".
#* In the '''Protocol status''' YES/NO questions, these will most likely all be NO, but ask David if you have questions.
# Question 2 asks about the number of participants who have been run using this protocol. There are two numbers to provide here.
#* The first is "since last approval", and this is the sum of participants who signed a consent form under the protocol in the last year (2015).
#* It is critical to ping everyone in the group to get an update about whether they performed experiments in the last year, and how many participants they ran ''under this protocol''. Participants who were run under a different IRB protocol will be accounted for elsewhere and should not be double-counted here.
#* The second number is "since initial approval", and you can get this by summing the '''"since last approval" number you included above''' with the '''"since initial approval" number last year's form''',
# Question 3 asks about whether participants were withdrawn in the past year. This is uncommon but it happens. Experimenters should notify you about this when they send you a summary of their experiments/participants.
# Question 4 asks you to attach more detailed descriptions of what has been done since the last approval, experiment-wise. Check out the previous year's report for a good example of how to prepare this.
#* Make a copy of last year's report to use as a template, and update the info in the header for the current year (expiration date, and continuing review number).
#* The '''Brief Lay Summary''' is a very broad overview of the protocol in a couple paragraphs. It is safe to assume that you can start will last year's summary and take a pass to update any minor changes you see fit.
#* The '''Progress of the research section''' includes a numbered list of the specific experiments that were run in the last year.
#** Before filling this out, make sure you've received info about all experiments done under the protocol in the last year.
#** Each experiment needs a '''Title''' (if it resulted in a paper, use that paper title), an '''Experimenter''' (name of grad student or researcher leading the project), '''Number of Subjects''', a paragraph describing briefly the '''Methods and Findings''', and at the end a summary of '''Side effects''', which will typically say "No adverse events occurred during the execution of the study described above".
#* Finally, attach the '''Consent Forms''' that were used in any experiments during the last year. In the 2015 renewal, we have two approved consent from that were used. As a sanity check, these should all already be approved through previous dealing with the IRB. Talk to David ASAP if you discover that an unapproved form was used.

Finally, you can drop off the report at the IRB office in a manila envelope when it is finished unless otherwise instructed to send it electronically.

Cognitive Modeling and Eye-tracking/NSF Proposal

2015-08-10T17:43:34Z

Steven Gomez: /* Minutes */ added old minutes

==2015 Proposal Info==

=== RFP ===
The IIS RFP is available at: https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13707

=== NSF IIS Deadlines ===
* MEDIUM Projects: September 10 - September 16, Annually Thereafter
* LARGE Projects: September 18 - September 24, Annually Thereafter
* SMALL Projects: November 4 - November 18, Annually Thereafter

== Minutes ==
=== 8/10 ===
Weaknesses in CHS Small proposal:
* "level of sensemaking tasks and insight characterization are less well-defined and should be '''supplemented with concrete examples and metrics''' (e.g., cost of cognitive operations)
* 'reasoning' and 'sensemaking' levels could be named differently to avoid some confusion
* unit-task level modeling is restricted to a narrow scope (good) but the other levels are not (too vague)
* not clear how individual differences work will be incorporated into models
* lacks a cohesive process for using the three models - '''clarify how an end-user of the modeling knowledge we produce will apply it to their own system'''

Discussion:
* Get rid of three levels. The pieces can remain but we should rephrase it to focus on the most important parts related to sensemaking.
* Two main pieces in the research plan: model to predict internal reasoning state ('reasoning model') and model to predict analysis outcomes ('insight model')
* Relationship between those two pieces should be clarified. What is the benefit of each? How are they used?
* New title sounds OK

Next steps:
* Hua: comment on notes regarding adding specificity
* Hua: explore solution for working with repo/online
* Steve: take another pass on proposal integrating what we talked about

=== 8/6 ===
* David sent out notes about the CHS proposal
* Changes mostly about adding specificity, application work, and making sure the framing is clear
* Steve and Hua will take a pass next week
* Steve Sloman interested, could maybe work in a role for 1 CLPS grad student
* Meeting planned for 8/10 (just Steve and Hua) and 8/17 (everyone)

=== 7/16 ===
* reviewed Google Doc with new title/abstract ideas
* ingredients for the various directions are similar
** As far as the researcher plan, we could start with the 2nd idea (evaluating a bunch of models) then choose one to go more in-depth (1st idea)
*** This timing distinction affects the research plan but doesn't necessarily change the focus of the proposal

=== 6/26 ===
Weaknesses in Expedition:
* Genomics area lacking details; visualization examples
* Genomics applications not cohesive enough
** Possibly cut Rand, epigenetics
** Possibly cut Benoist, ImmGen
* '''[Build on this]''' Application areas can be strengthened
** Badre application need update/more specification

Strengths:
* Reviewers liked "Personalization of visualization complexity based on user expertise"
** '''[Build on this]''' What models are needed to achieve this?
** (dhl wants to make sure this is personalization for enhanced performance not just for preference and that the costs of personalization are also taken into account. these might include learnability and loss of common knowledge (imagine if everyone's keyboard or car controls were different...)
* Reviewers liked "Automatic suggestions of visualizations based on user task"
** Constructing and integrating a predictive model of user's goal based on query and browsing history
** '''[Build on this]''' Related to Hua's proposed model of Exploratory and Focused Search stages

Ideas for new content:
* Get the Yurt involved
* 2D visualizations in the Yurt? (e.g., D3, web-based)

Cognitive Modeling and Eye-tracking/NSF Proposal

2015-08-10T17:37:49Z

Steven Gomez: /* 6/26 */ notes from skype today

==2015 Proposal Info==

=== RFP ===
The IIS RFP is available at: https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13707

=== NSF IIS Deadlines ===
* MEDIUM Projects: September 10 - September 16, Annually Thereafter
* LARGE Projects: September 18 - September 24, Annually Thereafter
* SMALL Projects: November 4 - November 18, Annually Thereafter

== Minutes ==
=== 8/10 ===
Weaknesses in CHS Small proposal:
* "level of sensemaking tasks and insight characterization are less well-defined and should be '''supplemented with concrete examples and metrics''' (e.g., cost of cognitive operations)
* 'reasoning' and 'sensemaking' levels could be named differently to avoid some confusion
* unit-task level modeling is restricted to a narrow scope (good) but the other levels are not (too vague)
* not clear how individual differences work will be incorporated into models
* lacks a cohesive process for using the three models - '''clarify how an end-user of the modeling knowledge we produce will apply it to their own system'''

Discussion:
* Get rid of three levels. The pieces can remain but we should rephrase it to focus on the most important parts related to sensemaking.
* Two main pieces in the research plan: model to predict internal reasoning state ('reasoning model') and model to predict analysis outcomes ('insight model')
* Relationship between those two pieces should be clarified. What is the benefit of each? How are they used?
* New title sounds OK

Next steps:
* Hua: comment on notes regarding adding specificity
* Hua: explore solution for working with repo/online
* Steve: take another pass on proposal integrating what we talked about

=== 6/26 ===
Weaknesses in Expedition:
* Genomics area lacking details; visualization examples
* Genomics applications not cohesive enough
** Possibly cut Rand, epigenetics
** Possibly cut Benoist, ImmGen
* '''[Build on this]''' Application areas can be strengthened
** Badre application need update/more specification

Strengths:
* Reviewers liked "Personalization of visualization complexity based on user expertise"
** '''[Build on this]''' What models are needed to achieve this?
** (dhl wants to make sure this is personalization for enhanced performance not just for preference and that the costs of personalization are also taken into account. these might include learnability and loss of common knowledge (imagine if everyone's keyboard or car controls were different...)
* Reviewers liked "Automatic suggestions of visualizations based on user task"
** Constructing and integrating a predictive model of user's goal based on query and browsing history
** '''[Build on this]''' Related to Hua's proposed model of Exploratory and Focused Search stages

Ideas for new content:
* Get the Yurt involved
* 2D visualizations in the Yurt? (e.g., D3, web-based)

Steven Gomez:

I am a 6th-year PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Brown.

My non-wiki web presence can be found [http://www.cs.brown.edu/~steveg/ here]. You'll find my cv and bio there.

white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;
word-wrap: break-word">dhl: I am thinking of two main things after reading it. The first is that you may need to provide a bit more background for a reader not already familiar with you and your background. It may be a little bit abstract, in some places. Examples of evaluation, for example, could help readers better understand it. The second observation is that tying it to an application area would (in my opinion) make the work stronger. You mention some in passing, but you don't bring them out as part of the aims. It might make sense to coordinate with Hua on this, since she, too, is aiming at brain diagrams and has started prototyping a web app along those lines. You did a great job leveraging the group with the vis paper, and I'm guessing you can probably do something similar in this context as well. </pre>

== Agenda Items ==

Things to decide:
# Enthusiasm for investing in eye-tracking...
#* Can we enumerate some experiment ideas? Are they useful and novel?
#* David's is high, but we all know how much he'll do...
#** Proposed experiments by Radu (nudging) and Caroline (multiview) might produce new hypotheses faster/better if collected data includes eye focus
#** Cognitive modeling to estimate performance with brain diagram use is likely to have more to work with if data acquired includes eye tracking
# Head-mounted system, or a device that will sit in front of the display?
#* Will we use this in the CAVE or for mobile devices, or just desktops?

Plans and Goals

2014-12-15T17:50:43Z

Steven Gomez: /* Steve */ checked off some items

On this page the members of the [[VRL]] record and refine their goals for the current semester. This is a living document in which [[dhl]] will provide feedback. See the bottom of the page for links to past plans & goals documents.

== Current Schedule ==
Meetings are on Mondays. The authoritative list is in dhl's calendar.

== Current Plans and Goals (Fall '14) ==

=== [[User:Connor Gramazio|Connor]] ===
Weekly work breakdown: 2 days MAGI/2 days HMS/1 day graphical perception
* '''MAGI Collaboration'''
** Submit to Nature Methods as co-author
** Release GD3 genomics visualization library
** '''Sep 23:''' have list of potential research directions
** '''Sep 30:''' distribute MAGI to observation group

* '''Harvard Med Collaboration'''
** '''Sep 19:''' Meet at HMS; outcome: list of specific potential projects
** '''Oct 1:''' Decide on project and send out project outline
** '''End of semester:''' demo functioning prototype
** Outcomes for us:
*** Technique paper on intelligent visual summarization (e.g., accordion mutation matrix attached) using measures like Hamming distance and then more complicated measures to intelligently bin data
*** Short paper on GD3, a generalized genomics visualization toolkit
*** Written log of scenarios and case studies supporting usefulness of an n-color palette generator
** Less polished outcomes for us:
*** Technique for n-wise visualization comparison. Could use interactive filtering or a rendering option to show commonly wanted signatures in data
*** Technique for creating visualization thumbnails using 1000s of SV visualizations as one usage example
** Outcomes for the compbio/bio folks:
*** Deployment of a flexible, reusable visualization library supporting common data formats that eliminates the need to write visualization code for many types of data (GD3)
*** Completion of an interactive tool for analyzing/exploring SV data, aimed at reducing the time spent generating and manually searching through all pairwise combination of SV algorithm output.
**** HMS post-doc said this accounted for 2/3 of his work over the past three months because there's no fast/automated way to do it right now, and it's inherently a visual-based task

Get certified to work with human subjects

2014-11-06T22:03:01Z

Steven Gomez: /* Before each study... */ adding link to IRB chart

This page is meant to help researchers get IRB info and certification needed to run studies with human subjects.

=== Things to take care of before doing human subjects research ===

# Take the CITI online course. Instructions for Brown students are here: http://www.brown.edu/research/about-brown-research/policies/instructions-accessing-basic-citi-program. Down the road, you should get an email when your CITI training expires. At that point, you will need to follow these instructions and complete the training again.
# Sign up for and complete Brown's BEARCORE training when it is offered next. This training program is a half-day course at Brown that fulfills the NSF requirements for ethics training. This training is required by the NSF for anyone receiving NSF grant or fellowship funding; the CS department recently made this a requirement for PhD students. For info and a schedule, check here: http://www.brown.edu/research/compliance-education-training/education-training/bearcore/bearcore.

=== Before each study... ===
# Are you doing "human subjects research"? This can include activities like running surveys or doing secondary data analysis. If you are not sure, there is a lot of general info at the [http://www.brown.edu/research/research-protections-office-0 Research Protections Office]. Cornell's IRB office has a nifty [http://www.irb.cornell.edu/documents/IRB%20Decision%20Tree.pdf decision-tree chart] to help students there (disclaimer: IRB policies at Brown and Cornell are not necessarily the same).
# If you are, make sure you have an approved IRB protocol for your experiment. The VRL has a protocol for general visualization experiments that is renewed annually. An up-to-date consent form for that protocol lives on the CS filesystem at: /pro/graphics/proposals/brown/irb/ConsentForm.pdf. Read through it before starting your study to make sure there are no new risks. David could probably tell you whether your study is too different from what is already approved. If so, your study might require the IRB to approve a new protocol or an amendment to an existing one.
# Remember to get informed consent with your IRB-approved form/script before running each participant.

Plans and Goals

2014-10-28T20:04:05Z

Steven Gomez: /* Steve */ check off to-do

On this page the members of the [[VRL]] record and refine their goals for the current semester. This is a living document in which [[dhl]] will provide feedback. See the bottom of the page for links to past plans & goals documents.

== Current Schedule ==
Meetings are on Mondays. The authoritative list is in dhl's calendar.

== Current Plans and Goals (Fall '14) ==

=== [[User:Connor Gramazio|Connor]] ===
Weekly work breakdown: 2 days MAGI/2 days HMS/1 day graphical perception
* '''MAGI Collaboration'''
** Submit to Nature Methods as co-author
** Release GD3 genomics visualization library
** '''Sep 23:''' have list of potential research directions
** '''Sep 30:''' distribute MAGI to observation group

* '''Harvard Med Collaboration'''
** '''Sep 19:''' Meet at HMS; outcome: list of specific potential projects
** '''Oct 1:''' Decide on project and send out project outline
** '''End of semester:''' demo functioning prototype
** Outcomes for us:
*** Technique paper on intelligent visual summarization (e.g., accordion mutation matrix attached) using measures like Hamming distance and then more complicated measures to intelligently bin data
*** Short paper on GD3, a generalized genomics visualization toolkit
*** Written log of scenarios and case studies supporting usefulness of an n-color palette generator
** Less polished outcomes for us:
*** Technique for n-wise visualization comparison. Could use interactive filtering or a rendering option to show commonly wanted signatures in data
*** Technique for creating visualization thumbnails using 1000s of SV visualizations as one usage example
** Outcomes for the compbio/bio folks:
*** Deployment of a flexible, reusable visualization library supporting common data formats that eliminates the need to write visualization code for many types of data (GD3)
*** Completion of an interactive tool for analyzing/exploring SV data, aimed at reducing the time spent generating and manually searching through all pairwise combination of SV algorithm output.
**** HMS post-doc said this accounted for 2/3 of his work over the past three months because there's no fast/automated way to do it right now, and it's inherently a visual-based task

* '''Graphical Perception'''
** Have Karen/MTurk experiment results by Sep 12
** Incorporate color saliency mapping into color palette model
** '''End of semester:''' Have LCH-based model running with short paper length description of the model

* '''Other'''
** Give a great talk at VIS
** Redo website before VIS
** Dissertation planning: by end of semester have a written plan on how to tie together graphical perception and genomics viz research
