| | | | The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program involves multi-site clinical research and may not be currently using a single Institutional Review Board (sIRB). FY2017 funds have been allocated to support approximately 10-11 administrative supplements (~300K/award) for infrastructure development at CTSA Program hub institutions expected to follow the "NIH Policy on the Use of a Single Institutional Review Board for Multi-Site Research." NCATS is therefore soliciting requests from CTSA Program hub institutions with current NIH-funded award(s) for one year of supplemental support to cover direct costs for the development of costing models, business processes, system changes, and efficient procedures and tools needed to facilitate sIRB review for multi-site research. | | | | Read More | | |
