UIC holds a Federalwide Assurance (FWA) #00000083 from the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). This FWA is an agreement between DHHS and UIC to review and approve research involving human subjects in accordance with the ethical principles outlined in the Belmont Report and the DHHS regulations 45 CFR Part 46. UIC IRBs also meet the membership requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, 21 CFR Parts 50 and 56 and the U.S. Department of Education (ED), 34 CFR Parts 350 and 356. UIC's Assurance is in effect through January 18, 2011.

UIC's IRB membership includes members whose primary concerns are scientific, members whose primary concerns are non-scientific, and members who are not affiliated with UIC. IRB members do not participate in the discussion or vote on research protocols in which they may have conflicting interests.

The four UIC IRBs are composed of individuals, both female and male, reflecting the community's racial and ethnic diversity, with the following expertise and perspectives:

UIC IRBs consider the review of other committees and involve ad hoc consultants as needed. The IRBs at UIC are in compliance with the guidelines promulgated by the International Conference on Harmonization to the degree they match the FDA regulations. IRB #1,#3 and #4 review research conducted at the Jesse Brown VAMC (JB VAMC, FWA#0000290).

It is UIC's policy to not routinely disclose the names of individual members serving on the IRBs. Rather this document is provided to investigators and sponsors as written assurance that the university is in compliance with the federal regulations governing the conduct of research involving human subjects.
