Can somebody not affiliated with an institution publish in a peer-reviewed scientific journal?
Dear Professor Zelins’kyi:
In my opinion, if a paper is not interesting, the referee will (or shall) reject the paper. Also, often the authors don't know whether their papers are interesting enough; especially when the authors are beginners.
Sincerely,

Yes. Every researcher can submit his/her paper to a peer-review scientific journal for publication.

Let's say you created a dataset with an NIH grant, and have already published papers from that dataset. After a couple of years, you want to write a new paper using the same dataset: do you need to renew the IRB approval?
I agree with @ Humberto Lucero that new authors do not have an easy task of publishing their paper. some of them have to look for more respected co-authors just due to this fact.
