As part of our efforts to streamline the IRB review process when UW researchers involve UnityPoint Meriter in their projects, a new Research with Meriter page was added to the Submission Guidance section of the IRB website.

This new page describes steps to help UW researchers navigate the IRB review process when UW research involves Meriter. The new guidance also includes a Meriter Engagement Worksheet which should be used once you know that your project involving Meriter does not qualify for an exemption. As always, if you have questions involving research with Meriter (or other multi-site research), email IRBReliance@wisc.edu.
