Used only for funding proposals in which definite plans for the involvement of human subjects will
not be set forth (i.e., training grants, institutional type grants, or projects in which the
involvement of human subjects will depend upon the completion of instruments, prior animal
studies, or purification of compounds)
UCSD has entered into agreements with non-UCSD IRBs including Western IRB, Copernicus Group IRB,
Quorum Review IRB, and the NCI CIRB to provide "centralized" IRB oversight for specific types of
clinical trials and other research involving human subjects
Projects involving evidence-based practice (EBP), quality assurance (QA), and quality improvement
