Unless the other institution’s IRB is covered by an existing cooperative agreement, the first step will be for Fred Hutch to enter into a protocol-specific agreement, called a reliance agreement. For more information about the agreements process, see Reliance Agreements.
Once a reliance agreement is in place with the other institution’s IRB, follow the steps described on How to Ask for an External IRB Review to submit a New Study submission requesting authorization to rely on an External IRB in Hutch IRB.
