What types of research can be reviewed under SMART IRB?

SMART IRB is intended to allow reliant IRB review of human subjects research in compliance with the review and reliance requirements of US research oversight regulations.

The research may be externally or internally funded; the Agreement does not limit the scope of what is covered based on funding source or status. Although it is generally expected that SMART IRB will be used for human subjects research that is subject to US research oversight regulations, it could be used for research that is subject to international requirements, if the parties involved in such research determine that SMART IRB and the SMART IRB Agreement meet their needs and any international requirements for such arrangements.
