The JHM IRB is willing to review requests for reliance on an External IRB as well as requests for JHM IRB to serve as the Single IRB. Typically, requests for reliance are submitted at two time points:

 

a) Planning Stage [e.g., you are preparing a grant application], or

b) Ready for Submission to JHM IRB [e.g., your grant is funded and you are preparing your eIRB application] 

 

Your first step in the process is to complete this reliance request survey.

Please Note:
 

 

In certain cases, some sites may need to secure an FWA before initiating a reliance agreement. If this applies to your study, please email JHMIRBreliance@jhmi.edu for specific instructions.

 

Requests for JHM IRB to serve as the Single IRB for large multi-center trials require pre-consultation with the JHM IRB. Please email JHMIRBreliance@jhmi.edu to arrange time for a consultation.

 

For questions while completing this reliance request, please contact Janelle Maddox-Regis, Associate Director, IRB Reliance Program, at jmaddox3@jhmi.edu.
