The comment period for the following SOP closed on November 21, 2003:
Complete Details New Authorization Form Available for Research with Healthy Subjects A new version of the “IUPUI/Clarian Authorization for the Release of Health Information for Research Healthy Subject Research Participants” is available on the Research and Sponsored Programs (R&SP) Web site. This form is intended for use with healthy subjects, i.e., no medical records will need to be accessed and all Protected Health Information (PHI) will be obtained directly from the subject. The form may be accessed from the Research Compliance HIPAA page http://www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/hipaa/hipaa_menu.htm. Requirements for Providing a Notice of Privacy Practice If being recruited or enrolled into a research study is the patient’s first contact with the hospital/clinic/office of the health care provider at IUPUI/Clarian, a Notice of Privacy Practices must be given to the subject upon contact (e.g., this may also apply for subjects who are recruited through advertisement rather than recruited through clinics). The notice given should be the relevant notice of the facility or covered entity where the research is taking place (i.e., if the research is taking place in Wishard Hospital, Wishard’s Notice of Privacy Practice should be given to the subject). The patient/subject must sign and acknowledge that they received the notice for any studies involving direct treatment. Additional HIPAA information is located on the previously mentioned Research Compliance HIPAA page http://www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/hipaa/hipaa_menu.htm. For questions or more information, contact the Research Compliance Administration (317) 274-8289/resrisk@iupui.edu. |

Revises Policy on Mentored Career Development Awards The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has modified its policy on mentored career development awards (K Awards) to allow award recipients to hold concurrent support from their career award and a competing research grant when recognized as a Principal Investigator or subproject director. Thus mentored career award recipients in the last two years of their support will be permitted to reduce the level of effort required for the career award and replace that effort with an NIH research grant or subproject. For full details and restrictions, see the NIH announcement at http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-04-007.html. Reminder: Routing of Electronic Proposals Indiana University policy requires that all proposals for externally sponsored projects must be routed though the University in order to obtain proper review, approval and signature. (See Institutional Policy III-20 at http://www.indiana.edu/~vpcfo/policies/contract/iii-20.html). As funding agencies develop systems that allow proposals to be submitted electronically it is easy to lose sight of the routing procedure, especially when funding agencies appear to be encouraging individuals to submit proposals directly to the agency. Electronic proposals continue to be under the same guidelines as paper proposals and must receive institutional review and approval prior to submission to the funding agency. Complete Details Current Route Sheet The current version of the Route Sheet for Transmitting External Proposals and Related Documents is dated September 1999. The version number appears in the lower right-hand corner of the form. Some departments continue to use the October 1995 version which is obsolete. The 1995 version does not include several required elements and should no longer be used. Complete Details |
