Policies and Procedures
In order for a local VA facility to be a participating site in a research project that is reviewed by the VA Central IRB, the VA Central IRB must be listed as one of the facility's IRBs of Record on the local facility Federalwide Assurance (FWA). The local facility must also enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the VHA Central Office Human Research Protections Program (HRPP).
The MOU template and instructions for completing the MOU, updating your facility FWA, and submitting the MOU and FWA update for signature and approval can be found by clicking on the links below.
No changes can be made in the MOU template by the local facilities at this time. If you facility has any questions about the provisions of the MOU or the submission process, please contact a VA Central IRB administrative staff member on our toll free number at 1-877-254-3130.
