Collaborative efforts between radiology and IRB result in new, streamlined template
Through a collaborative effort between radiology and the IRB (including team members Dr. Steven Baccei, Cole DiRoberto, Dr. Karen Johnson, and Sarah Saliba of the IRB) a streamlined template for retrospective radiology chart review studies was developed. Previously, these types of studies (that in most instances ultimately were determined exempt from IRB review) required a full, lengthy study plan. By using the new streamlined template, radiology researchers will be able to expedite the study plan portion of their IRB submission. This exciting initiative is expected to promote a significantly higher rate of research publications in our department. Read more. |
