Human research studies require exemption or IRB approval, but additional institutional requirements also need to be met before your study can begin. The most common of these are conflict of interest reporting and human research training requirements (including Good Clinical Practice, if applicable). Requirements like these are folded into the cede application review process, but others are not, such as radiation safety and joint security and privacy review (JSPR). You are responsible for obtaining those approvals or signoffs.

To assist researchers in navigating these institutional requirements and understanding when they might apply to their study, we have developed HRP 309-WORKSHEET-Ancillary Review Matrix. We encourage you to review this prior to submitting your cede requests and to reach out to us with any questions.
