Miami Valley Hospital Institutional Review Board
Effective January 1, 2012, Miami Valley Hospital (MVH) will begin transitioning review of MVH research from the MVH Institutional Review Board (IRB) to the Wright State University Institutional Review Board (WSU IRB)
. This process will take a year to complete. During the transition, the MVH IRB will continue to operate for existing protocols. All new IRB applications will be reviewed by the WSU IRB or other approved IRBs.
MVH requires that all research projects involving humans as subjects be reviewed and approved by an MVH-designated IRB prior to initiation of any research-related activities including data collection, recruitment and screening activities. This policy applies to any of the following:
- Research sponsored by MVH
- Research conducted by any employee, faculty, staff, students or agents of MVH in conjunction with their institutional duties
- Research conducted by any employee, faculty, staff, student or agent using any property, or facility of MVH
- Research involving the use of MVH’s nonpublic information
- Use of MVH’s nonpublic information to identify or contact human research subjects or prospective subjects.
The implications of engaging in activities that qualify as research that is subject to IRB review without obtaining such review are significant. Results from such studies may not be published unless IRB approval had been obtained prior to collecting the data. If the IRB does not approve the research, data collected cannot be used as part of a thesis or dissertation.
The MVH Clinical Research Center (CRC) is the administrative location for the MVH Human Research Protection Program (HRPP). The MVH CRC will assist with protocol preparation and pre-IRB review upon request.
Central Management for Clinical Trials
A central office manages all MVH clinical trials. Nurses specifically trained in the regulatory process are available to assist investigators. Administrative support for consent documents and IRB applications is available.
