Description: Youth-led participatory action research (YPAR) engages young people as partners in rigorous research inquiry to guide and inform collective action. Scholars interested in YPAR have notable investment in social justice and activist values, which at times come in direct tensions within their doctoral training and/or professional roles within academia. One monumental hurdle in conducting YPAR is obtaining approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Working with colleagues at Fordham, University of Florida, Boston University, the UCLA Life Course Intervention Network (YPAR Node), we have been collecting IRB YPAR applications from YPAR scholars. With the authors permission, we provide these resources!
