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.
