Submit a Request

When utilizing human subject specimens or data for research purposes, it is imperative that the Principal Investigator (PI) submits a new protocol application for study evaluation and determination by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). This requirement holds particular significance, especially when the PI intends to publish the research findings. The journal to which the research is submitted may request evidence of protocol approval or a determination letter from the IRB.

This mandate applies not only to prospective studies but also extends to retrospective studies. While patient consent for the storage of data is covered by protocol 07047, additional IRB approval is necessary to authorize the utilization of this data for research purposes.
