Reliance Workshop


The session will focus on understanding the IRB Reliance Mechanism, which is a formal, written document that provides a mechanism for an institution engaged in human research to delegate institutional review board (IRB) review to an IRB affiliated with another institution or an independent IRB. This fulfills the NIH mandate for Single IRB review.


Researchers, faculty and students are invited to learn more about our streamlined reliance processes for Single IRB (sIRB) and Administrative Review submissions to the IRB.

The Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Study


ECHO is an NIH-funded national cohort study that aims to understand how early life factors impact child health in a large, diverse US population. The inter-disciplinary ECHO team based at Rutgers and St. Peter’s University Hospital is recruiting and following a diverse group of pregnant participants and their offspring in New Brunswick, NJ. The team is also conducting research using national ECHO data focused on the connections between the early life microbiome, microbiome-perturbing exposures, and upper and lower airway health in children, including the relationship between the microbiome and disparities in asthma and allergic rhinitis.

New Funding Opportunity

National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Addressing Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) in Human Genetics and Genomics


The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking to broaden the types of knowledge, skills, expertise, experience, and perspectives brought to bear in the field of ELSI research.


The program will support:

  • Implementation of transdisciplinary ELSI research projects,
  • Establishment of research teams that include experts from communities who are affected by and have an interest in ELSI research,
  • Capacity building to develop or enhance an ELSI research agenda, and 
  • Workforce development opportunities for early career scholars, research team members, and research staff. 


This new funding opportunity will be released in July 2024.
