The
Research and Development (R&D) Committee is responsible through the Chief
of Staff to the Director of the medical center for maintaining high
standards throughout the facility's R&D program.
These standards include those that assure
the scientific quality of the R&D projects, protection of human
rights, laboratory safety, and welfare of animal subjects in
research and development. It advises the Director on professional
and administrative aspects of the R&D program. All R&D activities
within the facility, whether funded or unfunded, are within its
purview.
The R&D Committee
acts as the governing body of the Research Service at the VALBHS. It
serves as a parent committee to all of its subcommittees, including
the IRB.
The R&D Committee must review and approve all research
projects, which have been reviewed and approved by the IRB,
regardless of funding status and source, prior to study initiation.
The R&D Committee may strengthen requirements and/or conditions, or
add other modifications to a research project to secure R&D
Committee approval. If the R&D Committee requests changes to the IRB
approved research project, those changes must also be reviewed and
approved by the IRB, prior to final R&D Committee approval. |
