Recent changes in federal policy and regulatory requirements are driving the need to develop systems to support a new single IRB (sIRB) review model for multi-site research. The University of Iowa and Washington University in St. Louis were awarded a grant from the NIH to co-develop myProject, an IT system solution for institutions to effectively implement and manage their roles as relying institutions and reviewing IRBs under different single IRB (sIRB) models in multi-site research. myProject will not only meet the needs of a relying institution or reviewing sIRB, but also provide simple tools to reduce burden and support compliance for researchers tasked with working with a variety of sIRBs and their varied operating procedures and reporting requirements.
