My ethics board wants a sample size justification. What do they need?

Usually a short paragraph stating the planned test, the effect size and where it came from, alpha, target power, the resulting minimum N, and your recruitment target including expected attrition. Boards are looking for evidence that the number was reasoned rather than chosen.

This comes up on Sample Size and Statistical Power, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
