Are the IRBs Offices operating as usual?

Both IRB offices remain fully operational, although staff are working remotely and IRB meetings are being held virtually. In addition:

• Highest priority is being given to all questions, requests, and applications (including changes and reportable events) related to COVID-19.
• Effective March 18, 2020, the HS IRBs' point of contact service will be available by voicemail only.
• Effective March 23, 2020, until further notice, our office will no longer provide in-person consultations or presentations.
  • Consultation requests may still be submitted, but all consults will occur by phone.
• For the HS IRBs, our service emails are available to provide researchers with assistance:
  • askarrow@hsirb.wisc.edu
  • asktheirb@hsirb.wisc.edu
  • irbreliance@wisc.edu
  • irbdirector@hsirb.wisc.edu
