SMART IRB

SMART IRB is not an IRB; rather, it is a platform that encompasses a common IRB reliance agreement (the SMART IRB Agreement) and a suite of web-based resources to facilitate single IRB arrangements. Through smartirb.org, institutions can join the SMART IRB Agreement and manage their profiles, and investigators, study team members, and IRB/HRPP staff and administrators can request, track, and document single IRB (sIRB) arrangements for their studies. SMART IRB also provides essential education and flexible tools and resources to support the implementation of single IRB oversight, with a team of ambassadors available to assist in onboarding and implementation... Launched in 2016, SMART IRB is currently funded by the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. The platform serves as a roadmap for institutions to implement The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Policy on the Use of a Single Institutional Review Board for Multisite Research and the Office for Human Research..
