Investigators are required to submit applications to UW HSD, CRBB and the ITHS Research Portal simultaneously. Approval letters will be sent from the COVID-19 Research Review Working Group directly to the investigator. IRB approval will be contingent upon HSD receiving the approval letter from individual investigators.
The working group meets weekly. The deadline for submission is Fridays at 4:00pm. Applications are evaluated and decisions reported the following Wednesday or Thursday, depending on volume of proposals received.
*Requests for access to COVID-19 patient or research data will be evaluated by a sub-group to this committee.
