Research Preparation—tools, and things to consider

  • IRB information: The IRB, under the UC Davis Office of Research, safeguards the rights and welfare of all human research subjects and has the authority to approve, require modifications in, or disapprove all research activities that fall within their jurisdiction. IRB Resources Library
  • Reliance IRB: Sites and personnel who are not part of UC Davis are not covered by UC Davis’ IRB review unless certain agreements are in place. If your project or study involves collaboration with any sites and/or personnel outside of UC Davis, you will need to work with the UC Davis IRB and the other individual/institution to ensure that all reliance issues are addressed.
  • Compliance (Prep to research): Preparatory to Research approval should be used if you want to look at protected health information (PHI) for research purposes, such as evaluating whether a research project is feasible or not, identifying prospective research participants for the purposes of study development or to design data collection forms. CTSC Assist Application
