Speaker(s)
Research collaborations with other institutions are widely seen as beneficial and necessary in order to advance science. These collaborations can involve various combinations of academic institutions, government agencies, and industry partners, which can mean new requirements and complex relationships and responsibilities for the IRB and HRPP staff to navigate. This session will provide real world examples and strategies for successfully managing these collaborations and single IRB review. During this session, speakers and attendees will:
Learning Objectives:
- Share strategies that aid in navigating the complex regulatory landscape that exists when collaborators have different institutional requirements
- Share approaches for selecting the IRB of record in a collaborative environment, and how to strategize for addressing a variety of local context issues on the same project
- Discuss the importance of a well-constructed reliance agreement and how this agreement can be a useful tool for facilitating research collaborations
