Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center – New Orleans (LSUHSC-NO) Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) requires researchers who are requesting reliance on an External IRB to submit an External IRB Reliance Application to be approved before beginning a study. IRB Exchange (IREX) is a reliance platform designed for multisite research. LSUHSC-NO is a member of IREX and can use the online reliance system for collaborative studies when another IRB is the IRB of record for a study involving LSUHSC-NO researchers. Forms and Guidance for External IRB Reliance are below.
