  16. Wisconsin IRB Consortium (WIC) Purpose Facilitate collaboration among member institutions' Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in order to provide more effective and efficient oversight of multi-site human subject research protocols In Wisconsin and reduce costs and duplication of effort among the Member institutions and affiliated investigators. One Agreement Allows any member institution to serve as the IRB of record for another, eliminating the need to draft individual, study-specific IRB authorization agreements for each study reviewed. WIC is in its development/pilot phase ,and as such, is limited to the following participants: Aurora Health Care IRB, Milwaukee Marshfield Clinic IRB, Marshfield Medical College of Wisconsin IRB, Milwaukee University of Wisconsin-Madison Health Sciences IRB, Madison
