IRB Advisory Committee (IAC)
Case and its affiliated hospitals comprise the largest human subject research
center in Cleveland, Ohio. The Case Human Research Protection Program (HRPP)
covers all human research conducted by any student, employee, or faculty
member of Case Western Reserve University (Case), University Hospitals of
Cleveland (UHC) and The MetroHealth System (MHS) as part of his or her job
responsibilities with that organization, or any human research conducted
by an independent contractor of these organizations as part of the organization’s
contract. In addition, for any human research in which Case acts as the
grantee, employees of the Louis Stokes Cleveland Department of Veterans
Affairs Medical Center (LSCDVAMC) and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF)
are also responsible for complying with the Case HRPP. The integration of
the above mentioned components allows for enhanced oversight of human participant
research between our financially-separate institutions since resources are
shared, including IRB review, education of researchers and compliance monitoring.
The IRB Advisory Committee (IAC) serves to provide centralized oversight
of the CASE HRPP and is overseen by Case’s Provost and University Vice President,
Dr. William "Bud" Baeslack III. The IAC's core mission is to ensure that the oversight
of human subject research is appropriate and in accordance with institutional,
federal and state regulations under the Case HRPP. The secondary mission
of the IAC is to share resources and best practices among member Institutions
and other institutions within our community to ensure the protection of
participants in human research.
