Instructions: JAEB IRB (for multi-center research protocols coordinated by the Jaeb Center for Health Research)
The IRB has agreed to rely on the Jaeb IRB for certain trials involving eye disorders or Type 1 diabetes. The investigator submits directly to the Jaeb IRB for these studies while concurrently working with the IRB to submit an external/abbreviated protocol in ICON. Work may not commence at the site until the IRB has provided the PI with a formal letter in ICON acknowledging the Jaeb IRB approval.
Here is the process required of investigators relying on the Jaeb IRB:
- Contact the IRB Office to request reliance on Jaeb IRB.
- Start working on the ICON external study submission; however, you must wait to submit
it until you receive the approval letter and approved consent(s), assent(s), recruitment
materials and protocol from Jaeb. The investigator is always required to prepare
and submit an external IRB submission in ICON prior to beginning research. Follow
these instructions for completing this submission.
See for the Jaeb Center log in directory. Each new Jaeb Investigator must submit the following documents to the Jaeb IRB:
- Main Application
- C2 - Application to Review Site Investigator
- Application Attachments
- Good Clinical Practice Training (JCHR will accept an Institution’s GCP training that
meets the NIH’s requirements, or Institutions may use the free training shared by
and
- Financial Conflict of Interest Form. Note: The PI is still required to submit the
necessary COI certifications to the Division of Research.
- Handbook Attestation Form
See for the Jaeb Investigator handbook.
See here for the Jaeb Human Research Protection Program Policy Manual.
3. Jaeb IRB will conduct its review and issue an approval letter once all items
have been
addressed by the reviewing site's PI.
4. Jaeb IRB will provide the approval letter, protocol, consent forms and assent
forms to the
investigator.
5. The investigator then attaches the Jaeb approval letter and complete protocol
(including
recruitment materials, consent documents, etc.) to the external IRB application
in ICON.
6. The investigator submits the external IRB protocol to the IRB in ICON.
7. If the submission is complete, the IRB office will provide an acknowledgment
letter through
ICON system. Once received, engagement in the research may begin.
8. The investigator must promptly notify the IRB (using the “Update” activity
in ICON) of
the following:
a. Notification that Jaeb has renewed its approval at continuing review
b. Any findings by Jaeb of serious or continuing non-compliance
c. Changes of the financial status of study team members that may require review for
conflict of interest
d. Closure of the study
