ACE Ed.d program dissertation

[Stonybeach]

Of course, American College of Education has an IRB Board: https://ace.edu/blog/from-inaugural-ace-...on-advice/
"And now she serves on ACE’s Institutional Review Board, reviewing dissertation proposals from current candidates to ensure the research methods employed meet sufficient ethical and safety standards."

There are three types of review: 1. Full, 2. Expedited, and 3. Exempt. Don't confuse "Exempt" with not needing an IRB review, it just does not need a full review! " Involving human subjects that does not require comprehensive IRB review and approval because the only research activity involving the human subjects falls into one or more specific exemption categories as defined by the Common Rule." https://irb.tcnj.edu/types-of-irb-review/

Also, it is possible that one may need an IRB review at the organization where the research is conducted as well. (Multiple Institutions) https://twu.edu/institutional-review-boa...n-one-irb/

Here is a repository of ACE dissertations (61) under the leadership dissertation tab: https://scholarworks.ace.edu/communities...71f01ac79d

With that said, it is important to differentiate between the research doctorate and the professional doctorate offered by various universities in the US. Walden U has a good explanation: https://www.waldenu.edu/online-doctoral-...ral-degree

I hope this helps
