501.Requirements for External Investigator to Use the University IRB

Updated June 7, 2024

Circumstances arise in which an individual who is not a University/Affiliate investigator may wish to use the University IRB for review and oversight of their non-exempt human w88 online casino betting or to rely on w88 online casino betting Integrity & Security for oversight of exempt human w88 online casino betting. Multiple institutions engaged in the same human w88 online casino betting project may enter into joint review arrangements, rely upon the review of another qualified IRB, or make similar arrangements to avoid duplication of effort. All determinations to rely upon, or to permit another institution to rely upon the University IRB, shall be documented in a written agreement.

The w88 online casino betting, Reno IRB will conduct reviews of appropriate, external human research proposals on a fee-based schedule. The infrastructure that supports the IRB is funded by the indirect (F&A) return on expenditures.That cost is not captured when the funding is run outside of the University. The fees are charged to help offset the costs of such operations, including expertise-based protocol reviews, administrative support, technological infrastructure (electronic-based submission systems), educational and training requirements, and other activities of the Human Research Protection Program (HRPP). AnIndependent Investigatoris one whose home institution does not have an IRB.

NOTE: If the Independent Investigator's home institution is engaged in multiple human w88 online casino betting projects or if the w88 online casino betting is supported by the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the institution must obtain a Federalwide Assurance (FWA). AnExternal Investigatoris one whose home institution has an IRB.

Students/trainees cannot be an Independent Investigator for any w88 online casino betting involving human participants that will be overseen by the University.

External Investigators include researchers engaged in or collaborating on w88 online casino betting projects when the University/Affiliate investigator is the lead researcher or is responsible for the overall conduct of the w88 online casino betting. When a University/Affiliate Investigator is the lead researcher, the University prefers the External Investigator's institution cede review to the University IRB.

Non-exempt w88 online casino betting: Independent Investigator (no IRB)

Independent Investigators should contact w88 online casino betting Integrity & Security early in the w88 online casino betting proposal process. Decisions about whether to permit reliance on another IRB will be determined by the Institutional Official (IO), after review and recommendation by w88 online casino betting Integrity & Security senior staff. An Independent Investigator wishing to use the University IRB for review and approval of non-exempt w88 online casino betting must:

• Coordinate with w88 online casino betting Integrity & Securityto execute anIndependent Investigator Agreement(see IRB policy for IRB and investigator agreements (requires the Independent Investigator's curriculum vitae).
• Registerin IRBNet (for information, see the w88 online casino betting Integrity & Security IRBNet webpage).
• Follow the instructionsin the IRB policy concerning submission requirements for Full Committee Review or submission requirements for Expedited Review to create and submit a new project in IRBNet.

The University IRB may serve as the IRB of record for an entity that does not have its own IRB if (a) the University is directly involved in the conduct of or funding the human w88 online casino betting at the entity; (b) the IO approves of the arrangement in advance; c) there are no unresolved conflict of interest issues; (d) the scope of the reliance is limited to the human w88 online casino betting project in which the University is directly involved, and (e) the entity enters into an appropriate reliance agreement or Independent Investigator Agreement with the University. The Independent Investigator Agreement specifies the duties/responsibilities of the Independent Investigator related to the protection of human w88 online casino betting participants; compliance in the conduct of the w88 online casino betting; disclosure of conflicts of interests; requirements for prior notification and IRB approval for changes to the w88 online casino betting; requirements for post-approval notifications (e.g., safety reports, safety-related interim findings, and unanticipated problems involving risks to participants or others); and maintaining w88 online casino betting records.

Non-exempt w88 online casino betting: External Investigator (with IRB)

External Investigators should contact w88 online casino betting Integrity & Security early in the w88 online casino betting proposal process. Decisions about whether to permit reliance on another IRB will be determined by the IO, after review and recommendation by w88 online casino betting Integrity & Security senior staff. There are several situations in which an External Investigator affiliated with an institution with an IRB may use the University IRB as the IRB of Record for non-exempt w88 online casino betting:

A University/Affiliate investigator is the lead researcher on a multi-center project, is responsible for the overall conduct of the w88 online casino betting, and provides study-wide services, such as data coordination, for the sites engaged in the w88 online casino betting. The External Investigator is engaged in the w88 online casino betting at one of the participating sites.

An External Investigator is collaborating with a University/Affiliate Investigator in a non-exempt human w88 online casino betting project for which a University/Affiliate investigator is the lead researcher and will interact with participants at a University site or the investigators will share personally identifiable information about participants.

Federal regulations, state laws, or local policies require use of the University IRB.

Other situations may arise in which an External Investigator wishes to use the University IRB as the IRB of Record for non-exempt w88 online casino betting, for example, a w88 online casino betting project requires the expertise of the University IRB. These situations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by w88 online casino betting Integrity & Security.

NOTE: When University/Affiliate faculty, students, or staff are involved as collaborators in human w88 online casino betting for which an External Investigator is the lead researcher, the University IRB may cede review to the external IRB. Review IRB policy for using an external IRB or contact w88 online casino betting Integrity & Security for information.

The University/Affiliate investigator must:

1. Identifyall external (or collaborating) researchers in the Part I Application (Cover Sheet) in IRBNet.
2. Coordinate with w88 online casino betting Integrity & Securityto execute anIRB Authorization Agreement(IAA) between the University and the External Investigator's IRB, designating the University IRB as the IRB of Record (see IRB policy for IRB and investigator agreements).
3. Ensure the External Investigatorcompleted their home institution's or the University's requirements for human w88 online casino betting protection training.
4. Follow the instructionsin the IRB policy submission requirements for Full Committee Review or submission requirements for Expedited Review to create and submit a new project. (Or, follow the instructions in IRB policy for submitting an amendments to an approved project if an External Investigator is being added to an approved project.)
5. Share appropriateAccessin IRBNet with each external investigator(e.g., grantFull, Write, orReadaccess to allow them to work with study-documents and IRB notifications as consistent with their role on the project).

The IAA templates specify the requirements for the University and its IRB and the External Investigator and their home institution in the conduct of the w88 online casino betting, including requirements for disclosure/management of researcher conflicts of interests; reporting and review of participant complaints, changes to the w88 online casino betting, safety monitoring, unanticipated problems involving risks to participants or others, and safety-related interim findings; post-approval monitoring; and maintaining w88 online casino betting records.
