This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) documents policies and procedures for IRB review of research conducted in more than one member of the HMO Research Network. The SOP was developed in 2008. The process aims to reduce the burden on investigators from one HMORN member who propose to conduct research in multiple HMORN member institutions, while protecting the authority of each HMORN member IRB to choose to review research being conducted in its institution or to cede review authority to another HMORN member IRB, consistent with federal regulation (DHHS 45 CFR 46), the HMORN member’s policies and procedures, and its Federal wide Assurance (FWA).
