Effective 3.17.20, Sterling IRB no longer requires the review and approval of additions or removals of sub-investigators. Please note, while an investigator may delegate certain study-related tasks, it is the Principal Investigator’s responsibility to personally supervise the research and to ensure that all personnel participating in the conduct of the study are appropriately qualified by education, training, and experience.
Sterling IRB must be promptly notified of any pending or ongoing legal, regulatory, or professional actions or restrictions related to the practice of medicine or research at the site(s), and any relevant conflicts of interest. In addition, research personnel must comply with the requirements and determinations of Sterling IRB.
