When conducting human subjects research, social and behavioral researchers seeking to study current issues involving immigrants, refugees, and undocumented students must submit their research to an institutional review board (IRB). Research applications proposing to enroll these populations lie outside the scope of vulnerable populations named in the U.S. Code for Federal Regulations (45 CFR 46). Through a consideration of privacy, confidentiality, flexibility in providing protections, and case study examples, this article examines how researchers and IRBs can negotiate protecting participants who may be undocumented while supporting the advancement of research in the midst of the current, and uncertain, political climate.

无证移民的社会和行为研究：浏览IRB委员会

在进行人类主题研究时，寻求研究涉及移民，难民和无证件学生的当前问题的社会和行为研究者必须将其研究结果提交给机构审查委员会（IRB）。提议招募这些人群的研究应用不在美国联邦法规（45 CFR 46）中指定的弱势人群的范围内。通过考虑隐私，机密性，提供保护的灵活性以及案例研究示例，本文研究了研究人员和IRB如何协商保护可能没有证件的参与者，同时在当前不确定的政治环境中支持研究进展气候。
