News and Announcements
Changes to Adverse Event/Unanticipated Problem Reporting
In an effort to improve the IRB review process, a second significant policy change has been implemented to reduce the number of adverse events that need to be reported to the IRB. This change is coupled with the requirement that PIs provide the IRB with more meaningful information regarding data and safety monitoring activities. Please carefully review the attached newsletter that contains more detailed information.

Elimination of Three Year Rewrite Reviews & Changes to Continuing Review Process
In an effort to improve the IRB review process, several significant changes will take place during the next few months. The changes result from recommendations made during the AAAHRP re-accreditation review process and from an IRB subcommittee charged with improving the IRB's efficiency. The first major change is the elimination of the three year rewrite review process and the strengthening of the continuing review process. This change is effective immediately.

Please feel free to contact the CCI office if you have any questions.
