After July 1, 2024, all prospective, non-Oncology studies that require UW Health facilities, staff, equipment, procedures and/or patients or takes place in any SMPH space involving human subjects must obtain review and approval from the UW Health/SMPH Research Operations Committee (UROC).

Beginning on July 28, 2024, a UROC page will replace the SMPH feasibility page in ARROW and will include questions to determine if UROC review is required. If so, study teams must upload the UROC Endorsement Letter to submit to the IRB. SMPH feasibility forms will no longer be required for submission to the IRB.

Refer to UROC FAQ for more information about UROC and the review process.
