Standard Operating Procedures

When relying on an external or single IRB (sIRB) of record, it is the Principal Investigator’s responsibility to adhere to policies and procedures of the IRB of record.  In cases when there is an external or centralized IRB utilized, the IRB of Record policies prevail.  However, the Principal Investigator will also be required to continue to follow Stony Brook University’s institutional policies as well as state and local laws governing human subjects’ research.  

Section 17.17 of the Human Subjects Standard Operating Procedures Manual includes information specific to use of an external IRB.
