To the WCM Research Community,
The WCM IRB began a partnership with the Biomedical Research Alliance of NY (BRANY) in December 2021 to implement BRANYplus, a temporary program to review initial submissions of proposed research studies. Due to the positive feedback on this program, BRANYplus is now being extended at least through the summer. We will provide an update on the BRANYplus end date in future communications.

Important Reminder: The Key Information Section
This updated regulatory requirement takes effect next Monday, 4/4/22
As stated in our March newsletter, the Key Information Section for Informed Consent Forms will be required as of next Monday, April 4th, 2022!
The Key Information Section is a part of the Informed Consent Form (ICF) that provides enough information – the “key” information – a prospective participant needs to determine whether they should participate in your study. The Key Information Section is designed to facilitate prospective participants’ (or a legally authorized representative’s) understanding of the research study, and the reasons why one might wish to participate, or not participate, in the study.
The WCM IRB sends out all announcements and updates on the All Protocols and Research Coordinator Network (RCN) listservs.
