What about the VA?
Three institutions, JBVAMC, NU, and UIC, have agreed to rely on a single IRB with the authority to review biomedical and behavioral research that utilizes the JBVAMC as a recruitment and/or performance site in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations and VA and VHA requirements, including 38 CFR 16, 17 and VHA Handbook 1200.05. This IRB is referred to as the Collaborative JBVAMC/NU/UIC IRB (Collaborative IRB).
The Collaborative IRB (UIC IRB #4) reviews human subjects VA Research. VA Research is defined as research that is conducted by VA investigators (serving on compensated, WOC, or IPA appointments) while on VA time, utilizing VA resources, and/or on VA property including space leased to, and used by, VA. The research may be funded by VA, by other sponsors, or be unfunded. (Refer to VHA Handbook 1200.1.)
All research that engages the JBVAMC, including recruitment of JBVAMC staff, patients, and volunteers or use of JBVAMC resources, must have approval of the JBVAMC Research & Development (R&D) Committee and the Collaborative IRB before the research may begin at the JBVAMC. For information on how to begin research at the JBVAMC, visit the Research at JBVAMC website.
