The IRB Review
A compilation of information, announcements, & updates for UK Institutional Review Board (IRB) members, research investigators, & others involved with human subject research.
Reminder to Submit Signed Consent Documents Not Attached to Continuing or Annual Review Submissions During Remote Work 

During the pandemic, research personnel submitting annual or continuing review remotely have, in some cases, been unable to access and attach copies of signed consent/assent forms/HIPAA forms for the last two enrolled subjects. 

As researchers begin to resume on-site operations, consistent with the Phased resumption, please remember to submit the copies of signed consent/assent forms via a protocol modification.  


Remote Monitoring of Clinical Trials Now Available


CCTS is pleased to announce a plan for remote clinical trial monitoring. This plan will give study monitors view-only access to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and offers options for monitoring documents outside of the EMR using existing platforms at UK (One Drive and Zoom). EMR access is enabled by UK HealthCare IT and is subject to review and/or audit by the Office of Corporate Compliance.

Details and resources for remote monitoring are available at ccts.uky.edu/RemoteMonitoring
Please note: Individuals conducting human subjects research must review and comply with the requirements of the VPR’s Resumption of Research Phased Plan before initiating or resuming any in-person research.
