You also learn the Institutional Review Board (IRB) requirements for conducting clinical research.

This paper explains why DNP projects need IRB approval.
Knowing that there are different views of what is defined as research; if you were to implement an EBP initiative to answer your clinical or management question:
Would an IRB define your project as QA or research?
Does this proposed project use human subjects?
How will you ensure that ethical principles are fostered?
