Relevant IRB policies/procedures: |
Effective July 1, 2009 the Attachment A approval process will no longer incorporate a double check by the Institutional Review Office (IRO) before the grant is submitted to OSR. Where you would normally bring the grant to the IRO, it can now go straight to the next step in the process.
The Attachment A form has been shortened as a result of
eliminating this additional review step!
Investigators and their research teams are still responsible for getting all necessary IRB or IACUC approval of their projects! Be sure your project has the right review to avoid any delay in funding!
A new decision support tool is available to help you determine how to fill out your grant, and what type of IRB or IACUC review your project needs.Please use the decision support tool if you have any questions about what type of review you need. The Helpful Hints webpage may provide further information to help you determine what type of IRB or IACUC review your project needs. Please contact James Riddle, IRO Assistant Director at jriddle@fhcrc.org or 667-6501 if you have questions regarding this new process.

REMEMBER - IT IS STILL UP TO THE INVESTIGATOR TO MAKE SURE ALL NECESSARY IRB / IACUC APPROVALS ARE IN PLACE. ACT EARLY SO YOUR FUNDING ALLOW AT LEAST 60 DAYS TO GET ALL THE NECESSARY IRB / IACUC APPROVALS. |
To request the release of funds to initiate activity(ies) that does not involve the use of human subjects and/or live vertebrate animals, the IRO Approval for Limited Activity Form must be submitted to the IRO. If you have questions regarding this form and/or process, please contact Karen Hansen at khansen@fhcrc.org or 667-4867.
Simply email your IRB or IACUC Analyst if your funding source receives a No-Cost Extension or if you need to update the support dates for your funding source. You do not need to submit a Modification/Revision Request form.
The animal-related portion of grants supporting an IACUC study must be reviewed by the IACUC in addition to the IACUC application form. This requirement is already in place for human subjects/IRB review and is extended to IACUC activities because of Policy interpretation from the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) and the American Association for the Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC). If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact the IACUC Analyst at 667-5794.
The IRO confirm that the Protection of human Subjects Use regulations requirements have been met before signing any assurance, certification, or declaration forms. These forms include those issued by the government or private agencies (e.g., HHS 310, VA 10 1223, American Cancer Society, March of Dimes, etc).
If you have questions, please contact James Riddle in the Institutional Review Office at (206) 667-6501.
