NIH New Single IRB Policy begins in January
Policy applies to grant applications with due dates on or after January 25, 2018 and R&D contracts in response to solicitations issued on or after January 25, 2018.
NIH recently published a list of resources useful to researchers whose project will be affected by the new multi-site IRB policy.
The post on NIH Extramural Nexus urges scholars to familiarize themselves with the single IRB plan, considerations in the selection of the sIRB, costs, exceptions to the policy, and where this information should be included as part of a grant application or contract proposal.
