How to Optimize Your sIRB Experience

If you’re not already using a single IRB (sIRB) for cooperative and multisite clinical trials, you probably will be soon. Relying on an sIRB can be challenging for institutions used to doing everything locally. How can your institution make the most of sIRB reliance and position itself as a reliable performance site? What does a “good” sIRB relationship look like?

Join us for a discussion on pitfalls to avoid and what actually happens behind the scenes for a relying institution and the sIRB.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe how the sIRB reliance agreement impacts research activities
  • Identify which responsibilities go to the sIRB and which stay with the institutional site
  • Outline strategies to optimize sIRB efficiencies and minimize delays
  • Recognize ways local requirements (like informed consent language) can impact sIRB review timelines
