Single IRB Review

Increasing Capacity for Multisite Studies

 

The regulatory landscape is changing faster than it has in decades. The NIH mandate and revisions to the "Common Rule" will require single IRB review and UC must be prepared. Fortunately, UC BRAID and campus IRBs have a years-long partnership. We leverage IRB Reliance and local expertise to streamline IRB approval, and most importantly, speed clinical trial activation.

 

UC BRAID’s Regulatory initiative identifies problems and develops new infrastructure and processes that will streamline IRB approval.

​

Goals

 

• Establish infrastructure and processes to expand use of single IRB review
   

• Promote IRB reliances through outreach to researchers, staff and industry partners
   

• Assess current processes, determine potential causes of variability and delay, and develop methods for improvement
