IRB RELIANCE AGREEMENTS

HARVARD CATALYST CEDE REVIEW REQUESTS
Harvard Catalyst member institutions may request to rely on one another for IRB review of multi-site human subjects research.  To submit a Harvard Catalyst Cede Review Request, use your eCommons login/password to login and complete the online Cede Review Form on the Catalyst website http://catalyst.harvard.edu/services/irbcede/.  Note: You may request an eCommons login/password through the Catalyst website if you don’t have one.

Be sure to list all of the performance sites involved, personnel at each site, and research procedures taking place at each site.  Also indicate if there is an existing protocol already approved by the IRB of one of the involved institutions.  The online form will automatically be sent to the IRB administrators of each site you've listed in the application for consideration.  Contact Maria Sundquist for more information about Catalyst cede review requests, tel. 617-424-4101 or email msundquist@partners.org.
