Conducting Planned Emergency Research in the Era of sIRB
Planned emergency research (subject to the 21 CFR 50.24 regulations) is challenging for IRBs to review under any circumstance. Now, in the era of single IRB (sIRB), add in the complexity of serving as the designated sIRB reviewing 50.24 research for other institutions in dispersed geographic locations with uniquely different communities.
- How does the IRB of record ensure the plans for community consultation and public disclosure are adequate?
- After a plan is approved, how does the IRB ensure the plan is properly executed and the results are acceptable?
- And how does the relying institution ensure that its local context is considered as part of the community consultation?
In this webinar, we will explore the basics of conducting a 50.24 review from the perspectives of both the reviewing IRB and the relying institution, presenting different perspectives on how best to prepare for conducting planned emergency research in the era of sIRB.
