NIH establishes single IRB policy

NIH establishes single IRB policy: 

In an era of multi-site research the traditional approach of
having each site apply to its own institutional review board (IRB) is seen as counterproductive.
To support multi-site research and its promise of increased efficiency and knowledge
development, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will now approve applications that are
approved by a single IRB. Any site will still be required to adhere to the ethical principles and
protections for subjects in any non-exempt research, but the single IRB will speed the process
by reducing the number of IRB requests to one. The new NIH policy will be in force for
competitive grants and contracts on or after May 25, 2017.

Details of the policy may be found at:
