老澳门六合彩图库

In general, only persons with 老澳门六合彩图库 faculty appointments may serve as Principal Investigators. Students, residents and fellows generally are not allowed PI status -- students, residents, and fellows must recruit an 老澳门六合彩图库 faculty member to serve as Principal Investigator for IRB purposes.

There are exceptions:

• Froedtert Hospital has a system for recognizing qualified Froedtert Nurses and Pharmacists as Principal Investigators.
• Staff at Froedtert Menomonee Falls Hospital and Froedtert West Bend Hospital who do not have 老澳门六合彩图库 faculty appointments are generally eligible to serve as Principal Investigators, unless they are students, residents, or fellows.
• Staff at the Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin who do not have 老澳门六合彩图库 faculty appointments will be generally eligible to serve as Principal Investigators, unless they are students, residents, or fellows.
• Children’s Wisconsin IRB has its own, different rules about who may serve as a Principal Investigator.
• Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center has its own, different rules about who may serve as a Principal Investigator.

All human subject research activities must be submitted for review and approval by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) by creating a SmartForm application (PRO) in eBridge. eBridge, our web-based system for research submissions, is accessible anywhere and at any time. The PRO must be approved prior to initiating the human subject research activities it describes.

If the human subject research activities incorporate animal material, please note that application and approval from the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) may be required.  For information on obtaining approvals for animal research, visit Research Resources Working with Animals.

If the human subject research activities incorporate potentially hazardous agents, biological hazards, radiation and/or radioactive materials, or hazardous equipment (e.g. MRI), approval may be required by one or more of the safety subcommittees.  For information on obtaining approvals for hazardous material, visit Research Resources FAQs and select the appropriate category for your needs.

If the human subject research activities propose to use the Translational Research Units (TRU), approval is required from the TRU.

If the human subject research activities propose to use, conduct or access resources in Froedtert Hospital, an application must be submitted to the (OCRICC).

These applications can be submitted at the same time to the various committee(s) for review. However, it is important to note that the IRB cannot render a final decision until all ancillary committee decisions are confirmed.

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) and Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) office will work to facilitate a smooth review process for both new and existing Investigators. Please submit the eBridge PRO SmartForm (PRO) and other applications which apply to your research at your earliest convenience. Additional information is also available at the Human Research Approval section of the Research Concierge website.

• Consultation with the HRPP office or HRPP Director: If an Investigator is new to 老澳门六合彩图库 and bringing research data or specimens to 老澳门六合彩图库, a consultation is recommended to identify the best pathways to transfer the research to 老澳门六合彩图库. For current Investigators, the HRPP is always available to discuss new projects or changes to currently approved projects to identify and work through any possible IRB concerns.

The Milwaukee Regional Medical Center has many institutions on the campus including the 老澳门六合彩图库. Many of these institutions have separate Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to review the research which may be occurring under their faculty, in their buildings, or with their patients. 老澳门六合彩图库 Faculty are required to submit their research projects to the MCW/FH IRB. There are exceptions to this policy because of agreements with many of the institutions on the campus to help facilitate a streamlined review process when possible. If the research involves multiple institutions, investigators should complete the Coordinated IRB Review Request Form prior to submitting to an IRB to see if a single IRB review is possible and which IRB will provide that review.

MCW/FH IRB Review
Froedtert Hospital has established an agreement with the 老澳门六合彩图库 to handle all IRB review of research projects conducted in any of their facilities or involving their employees or patients. Froedtert Hospital’s agreement also includes research being done at Froedtert Menomonee Falls Hospital and Froedtert West Bend Hospital.

Children's IRB Review
Research projects which involve Children's patients (records or direct contact/intervention/treatment) or only Children's employees should be submitted to the Children's IRB for review and approval. In the following circumstances involving both Children's and MCW/FH, the Coordinated IRB Review Request Form can be completed and submitted to the Children's or the MCW/FH IRB Office to decide whether or not a single IRB review is possible and which IRB will provide that review:

• If the research project involves review of Children's and MCW/FH medical records
• If the research project involves minors in the Southeastern Wisconsin community
• If the research project involves Children's and MCW/FH employees
• Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin (BCW) IRB Review

Research projects which involve BCW donors, facilities, or records should submit their applications to the BCW IRB for review and approval. If the project also involves 老澳门六合彩图库 or FH, the Coordinated IRB Review Request Form can be completed and submitted to the BCW IRB Office.

Zablocki VA IRB Review
Research projects which seek to recruit, and involve veterans (records, or direct contact/intervention/treatment) must contact the Zablocki VA and submit their research to the VA IRB for review and approval.

Visit the HRPP Investigators and Study Staff page to view the section on Coordinated IRB Review for details.

After the Institutional Review Board (IRB) has approved a SmartForm Application (PRO), the IRB has the responsibility to ensure that procedures are carried out as described in the PRO. The IRB utilizes the Quality Improvement team (QI) for monitoring research activities following approval. These include the following:

Routine Reviews
Routine reviews are a mechanism for the 老澳门六合彩图库 Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) to provide internal oversight of the conduct of human research studies that are reviewed and approved by the MCW/FH IRBs.

For-Cause Audits
Examples of events which may generate "For Cause" audits and an overview of the process, including determination of the need for an audit.

Investigators should be aware of the following topics when starting, conducting or closing a clinical trial to ensure they are conducting the trial accordingly. These topics may or may not apply to every clinical trial being started or conducted and should be researched to see if they are applicable.

• Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) certification is required
• Department of Defense (DOD) training is required if funded by DOD
• Research Bank training is required if using banks

See Human Research Protection Program Training for full details.

Optional training includes the following, also outlined on the HRPP Training page:
