Affiliate Institutions
- Do affiliated institutions that are legally separate but covered under a single Federal Assurance 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?
