Institutional Review Board

CONDUCTING RESEARCH AT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER - NEW ORLEANS


Studies conducted by LSUHSC investigators that involve the use of UMC resources or facilities, or the participation of UMC personnel, require review and approval not only by the LSUHSC IRB, but also by the UMC Research Review Committee (RRC). No study activities, or even activities preparatory to research such as feasibility and pre-screening of individual patient charts, may be initiated until all approvals are in place.

The UMC Research Review Application has been incorporated into the Kuali Research (KR) IRB Protocol form; UMC-specific questions are displayed if UMC is selected as a performance site. Additionally, the use of UMC-Specific forms may be required based on your responses and are embedded into the application and listed below. 

If you have questions or need additional information, please contact the UMC Office of Research at UMCOfficeofResearch@lcmchealth.org
