• Reminder: Effective January 1st, a consultation with RELIANT is required for study teams asking the UW to serve as the single IRB (reviewing IRB) for a multi-site, non-exempt study. Without prior consultation, the UW cannot agree it will serve as the single IRB. If the UW is unable to serve as the reviewing IRB, RELIANT will assist study teams in identifying another external IRB.
  • Changes for Ceded Studies: The types of changes that need to be submitted for ceded studies is considerably smaller than what is needed when the UW IRB has reviewed a study. Please see page 34 of our reliance manual for details on what types of changes need to be submitted for ceded studies.
  • RELIANT Team Changes: Mike Bingham left RELIANT early January for another position. Mike has been an integral part of our team for several years and he will be very missed. Searches for a replacement for Mike as well as another reliance administrator will begin in early 2022. If you are interested in learning more about these positions, please contact irbreliance@wisc.edu.
