All prospective, non-oncology studies involving human research participants that use UW Health facilities, staff, equipment, procedures, or occur in any SMPH space must be reviewed and endorsed by UROC. This includes studies only involving interviews, surveys, or focus groups (visit the UROC KB Page for more information). This requirement is outside of the IRB approval process and is needed before IRB review begins. Final UROC endorsement letters must be uploaded to the ARROW application before the application can be submitted to the IRB. Questions about the UROC process can be directed to UROCAdmin@med.wisc.edu.
