What other IRBs am I allowed to use?

Washington University has agreements to rely on WCG IRB and Advarra IRB. We also rely on the NCI IRB for review of studies they oversee. Additionally, we agree to rely on a number of other institutional IRBs on a case by case basis.

Do I have to submit modifications and continuing reviews to the WU IRB if I am using another IRB?

Protocol Modifications or Amendments, including changes to the consent form that do not change the local context language should not be submitted to the WU IRB. Likewise, continuing review information should not be submitted to the WU IRB. Please see the sIRB Research Guide for more information.

How do I request to rely on another IRB?

You will be required to submit a Request to Rely application in myIRB. Please see the sIRB Research Guide for specific information about what is required.
