Explanation:

IRB stands for Institutional Review Board. It is federal administrative board of the United States government. The IRB's main function is to protect the rights of the human who are used as the research subjects in the research work and work for the welfare of them.

In the context, according to the subpart 3, it requires for the researchers to stop the data collection process who is supposed to be a prisoner. And thus the researcher or the experimenter must inform the Institutional Review Board within five days form the day he knows the information and must get a new approval from the board in accordance with or without prisoner participant.
