How to Optimize Your sIRB Experience
If you’re not already using a single IRB (sIRB) for cooperative and multisite clinical trials, you probably will be soon. Relying on an sIRB can be challenging for institutions used to doing everything locally. Even those more familiar with sIRB reliance may still find it’s not as efficient or straightforward as promised.
How can your institution make the most of sIRB reliance and position itself as a reliable performance site? What does a “good” sIRB relationship look like?
In this webinar, you’ll find out how other institutions have used sIRB requirements as an opportunity to elevate their research programs.
Join academic research and human subject protection experts from the University of Cincinnati and Advarra for a discussion of what they’ve seen work well, pitfalls to avoid, and what actually happens behind the scenes for a relying institution and the sIRB.
Learning Objectives:
After attending this webinar, attendees will be able to:
-
Describe how the sIRB reliance agreement impacts research activities
-
Identify which responsibilities go to the sIRB and which stay with the institutional site
-
Outline strategies to optimize sIRB efficiencies and minimize delays
-
Recognize ways local requirements (like informed consent language) can impact sIRB review timelines
