IRB Review of Requests for Tissue Research Tissue Repository Updated April 2008
There are two separate IRB approvals involved for each project that uses tissue repository materials: The first IRB approval is needed for the Tissue Repository to collect tissues and maintain a clinical database. This is submitted by the Tissue Repository. The second IRB approval is requested by investigators who want to use the Tissue Repository for each research project to be released. For this second IRB request, an informed consent may not be necessary and since the tissues are coded to the researcher, the application to the IRB should be easier to evaluate. Since the tissue is de-identified and health information has no HIPAA identifiers when it reaches the investigator, an expedited IRB approval will suffice and many, if not most projects, may even be exempted by the IRB after an appropriate review. Further guidelines and instructions on completing an Application for Review of Research may be found on the HSPP website. |
