Joint OHSU-Kaiser Studies

One of the missions of the Investigator Support and Integration Services unit is streamlining IRB processes for investigators, particularly those conducting cross-institutional research, such as OHSU-Kaiser collaborative projects.  Recent initiatives include:

• Agreement of both IRBs to accept each others’ compliance trainings
• Streamlined Principal Investigator requirements 
• Single IRB review of some minimal risk joint OHSU-Kaiser studies
