Clarification of Protection of Human Subjects Test Requirement
In the May, 2001 issue of the newsletter, it was reported that the IUPUI Faculty Council approved a requirement for all researchers to pass the Protection of Human Subjects Test. It should be noted that this requirement includes all investigators, co-investigators and sub-investigators involved in the conduct, design, and reporting of the research who are listed in the summary safeguard statement of the IRB packet.

Utilizing Updated IRB Forms
The adoption of new IRB policies and requirements often necessitates returning outdated forms to the investigator for correction and may result in delays. As IRB forms are frequently updated, investigators are reminded to check the Research Compliance Web site at http://www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/spon/download.htm for updated forms each time new items are submitted to the IRB.

Submission of the Same Protocol by a Different Investigator
The IRB will not routinely accept for review protocols that are essentially the same study submitted by a different investigator. Investigators are urged to collaborate with one another and submit one protocol for review by the Board. Questions or requests for exceptions regarding this policy should be directed to the IUPUI/Clarian IRB Chair: send an e-mail to resrisk@iupui.edu or call 274.8289.

 


Additional IRB Requirements for VA-Funded Studies Involving Human Subjects
Effective immediately, new reporting requirements for VA-funded studies involving human subjects are in place at IUPUI and Clarian Health Partners. Additional IRB requirements for VA-funded studies require completion of Section 3 of the IRB Continuing Review Form.

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.
