The following procedures govern radiation safety reviews for Fred Hutch studies and for UW/Fred Hutch Consortium studies.
Summary of Key Contacts and Requirements
Following is a chart summarizing the key requirements and contacts for radiation safety review relating to Fred Hutch studies and studies at the Fred Hutch/University of Washington/Seattle Children's Cancer Consortium:
| Institution and Requirements | Contact Name | Contact Information |
|---|---|---|
University of Washington Medical Center & Fred Hutch outpatient clinic In order to simplify the process of review, the UW and Fred Hutch radiation review committees have combined to form one committee which will review radiation being delivered to research participants at UW and/or Fred Hutch. Investigators of studies involving radiation dose delivery at the UW Medical Center and/or Fred Hutch may need to complete Human Subjects Radiation Approval Committee (HSRAC) Forms. UW Use of Radiation in Human Subjects Research For approved consent language, refer to the Approved Risk Language for Consent Forms document. Contact Jennifer Johnson with questions regarding forms or review requirements. | Jennifer Johnson | 206.543.3190 |
Seattle Children's Investigators of studies involving radiation dose delivery at Seattle Children's must contact the Seattle Childrens Radiation Safety Committee for review requirements. | Marguerite(Meg) Parisi, MD | 206.987.2134 |
Fred Hutch Investigators of studies involving radiation dose delivery at Fred Hutch facilities must contact the Fred Hutch Radiation Safety Officer for review requirements. | Julia Sober | 206.667.4044 |
Other Performance Sites
If your research study involves radiation procedures at multiple performance sites, you are responsible for checking with each site to confirm the applicable review requirements for that site and obtaining any required approvals. Accrual of research participants may not begin at a performance site until after you have received any required approval from that site.
IRB Documentation Required
You are responsible for submitting all approval documents resulting from any required radiation safety review to the Fred Hutch IRB.
