University-based researchers must seek Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval when their projects meet the human subjects regulations' definition of research. Regulations guiding IRBs are informed by the Belmont Report's (1979) ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Debates exist about whether these principles apply to all research approaches. These debates prompted this study involving interviews with 10 community-based participatory researchers (CBPR). Interviewees identified ethical issues relevant to their research, interpreted the Belmont principles, and reflected upon the appropriateness of these principles. Constant Comparative Method guided data analysis. Differences exist between CBPR and the Belmont Report's conceptualizations of the ethical principles. The discussion includes suggestions to address these differences with the aim of strengthening the IRB process' relevance.
