UVM Principal Investigator (PI) is Lead on a Grant
RPO | Human Subjects Research | Single IRB | WCG IRB
As of January 25, 2018, NIH policy (opens in a new window) requires that all NIH multi-site protocols use a single IRB of record. Institutional Officials have decided that UVM will subcontract with WCG IRB (formerly Western IRB) (opens in a new window) for single IRB services where UVM researchers wish to be the lead single IRB for their NIH proposals. Proposals should include the use of WCG IRB as the IRB of record for the multi-site research activities and budgets must be developed to include the expense for the use of this commercial IRB.
