Federal Regulations

Human subject researchers (e.g. investigators) at ºÚÁÏÍø comply with requirements set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations known as the "Common Rule" as well as Wisconsin State laws and ºÚÁÏÍø policies. Federally funded multi-site studies requiring single IRB (sIRB) review involve coordinated local oversight by and advanced planning with the ºÚÁÏÍø IRB office. In any study, if investigators intend to recruit study participants from locations outside of the United States, the primary investigator (PI) must first secure written approval from ºÚÁÏÍø IRB prior to contacting research officials in non-US countries and sovereign nations.

Additional details on regulations are available on the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services website. Please also review the Human Subject Regulations Decision Charts for information on how ºÚÁÏÍø IRB determines if an activity is research involving human subjects that must be reviewed.

In accordance with regulatory standards, ºÚÁÏÍø IRB is comprised of qualified board members that include at least one non­ scientist and one community representative. ºÚÁÏÍø's Executive Vice President of Academics serves as the Institutional Official for the ºÚÁÏÍø IRB.
