While the UW-Madison HS IRB is the affiliate IRB for the Madison VA, UW Madison does not have the authority to cede IRB review of VA Research to another IRB. In addition, the UW-Madison IRB cannot serve as the reviewing IRB for external sites involved with a VA study, and no VA sites can be added to a non-VA study. Please contact the Madison VA Research Office first for assistance in determining whether single IRB review can be used for your VA Research.
