FAQs for Department Review Chairs & Department Heads

DRC training is offered every August and registration is listed on the education page for DRCs.

Please contact your college liaison to let them know the change as soon as possible. Additionally, please let your department know of the change, so that researchers can assign the correct personnel for signoff in iMedRIS.

DRCs that review the applications thoroughly forĀ scientific validity, sound research methods, and completeness (i.e., making sure survey instruments, consent forms, and recruitment documents are attached) can significantly reduce the number of review rounds and the overall approval process of new applications.

If you reject signoff, the application will be routed back to the PrincipalĀ Investigator (PI) for revisions. When the PI completes the revisions, the submission will be rerouted back to you for approval.
