PARTNERING TO
ELEVATE RESEARCH

SIRB

The UU IRB has an established process for engaging with site investigators and HRPP representatives in order to secure IRB reliance and approval for each participating site.

Use of the University of Utah IRB as a SIRB provides investigators with access to the ERICA Online System, an electronic system that streamlines submission, review, communication, and documentation for studies.
Additionally, investigators have access to a comprehensive SIRB consultation process for navigating issues related to study design, methods, and consent documentation for multi-site studies.
