Eligibility to Participate

  • Do affiliated institutions that are legally separate but covered under a single FWA need to join SMART IRB individually?
  • If one institution provides IRB review for several affiliated but legally separate institutions do all institutions need to join individually?
  • If my institution’s FWA specifies that we rely on the IRB of another legally separate institution, do both institutions need to join SMART IRB?
  • If a group of affiliated institutions with separate FWAs (e.g., a university-hospital system) wants to participate in SMART IRB, can one member of the group join on behalf of all?
  • Does my institution need to have an IRB in order to participate in SMART IRB?
  • Can government agencies that conduct or review research participate in SMART IRB?
  • Can independent IRBs (not affiliated with an institution) participate in SMART IRB?
  • Who determines whether a Participating Institution meets the eligibility criteria?
  • What are the SMART IRB eligibility criteria?
