What’s interesting about SCTR & HSSC • A collaborative of otherwise unaffiliated (competitive) hospitals and universities with the goal of improving healthcare for the State through integrated translational research initiatives. • Spirit of cooperation (DURSA, reciprocal eIRB agreement etc.) • Collaboration of HSSC and CTSA funded centers (MUSC’s South Carolina Clinical and Translational Research Institute – SCTR) • - Alignment of Informatics initiatives, sharing staff and infrastructures. • Funded by a combination of Philanthropy (The Duke Endowment), CTSA (NCRR), NLM (GO Grant), Private Hospital, State Match (For Endowed Chairs and Faculty). http://sctr.musc.edu 843-792-8300

The HSSC eIRB Workgroup • Project Manager was selected to lead the effort – Randy Shelley • Each participating institution appointed an experienced IRB Coordinator to the workgroup • Project Charter and project management tools implemented • Project began on July 2006 http://sctr.musc.edu 843-792-8300
eIRB – Preparation and Analysis • IRB Workflow definition • Dozens of workflows likethis one • Took over a year! http://sctr.musc.edu 843-792-8300

eIRB- Timeline • 2005 – Create the HSSC IRB Committee and define requirements • 2006 – “Cooperative Agreement-Institutional Review Boards” signed • 2008 – Implement Greenville Hospital System, Palmetto Health, Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System and University of South Carolina on the HSSC eIRB platform with the goal to unify and streamline their IRB operations. • 2010 – Medical University of South Carolina becomes operational. • 2010 – Implement multi-site collaborative review process within eIRB. Each institution designates reliance upon each of the others institution’s IRB allowing the institutions to cooperate in human research studies and avoid duplication of effort. • 2010 – Scresearch.org goes live with studies from eIRB. • 2011 – Implement facilitated review process with eIRB to reduce the administrative burden for IRB and investigative staffs who are associated with the local review process of studies approved through the NCI CIRB, other Central IRB or non-HSSC IRB. http://sctr.musc.edu 843-792-8300
eIRB – Cooperative Review Investigator submits a multi-site Research Study to the Primary IRB Request Changes Investigator submits an Amendment to the Primary IRB Primary IRB review Primary IRB Approval Cooperative Review request notification is sent to all Collaborating IRBs and is immediately available for their Cooperative Review Request Changes Study must be submitted directly to the Collaborating IRB and not through Cooperative Review Process Reject Primary IRB Approval Collaborating IRBs records cooperative review decision (Full Board or Expedited) Research may now be conducted at collaborating institution Accept Primary IRB Approval http://sctr.musc.edu 843-792-8300
