IF Requesting a study be ceded to another IRB for review, this will be designated in your IRB Application on the "Study Type and Performance Site Information" tab.
Currently, VHRPP will only cede review or serve as the single IRB for federally funded research studies in order to comply with the Single IRB mandate. If you have any questions about single IRB review, please contact singleirb@vumc.org.
