Wednesday, November 17, 2021
11:45 AM – 12:45 PM ET
Location: Livestreamed
Collaborative research among different legal entities, such as when faculty from one legal entity hold a dual appointment and cross over to another legal entity to engage in research there brings some challenges when it comes to streamlining IRB review and ensuring regulatory compliance. Issues stretch from permission to engage in research in another legal entity to data flows/HIPAA issues, sovereign immunity, local ancillary reviews and sign offs, consent forms, ceding review to an entity beyond affiliated institutions, and more. The session will explore the following concepts through the use of lecture and case studies.
Learning Objectives:
Identify regulatory requirements for research involving personnel from one institution who perform research activities at another legal entity where they are also credentialed
Discuss the content and format of agreements used to cover research activities and streamline regulatory oversight
Use case studies to explore issues that arise in collaborative research across affiliated institutions, such as when an affiliate does not have a local IRB office, chart review studies, ceding IRB review to an entity beyond the affiliated institutions, etc.
