Background
Many UCSF investigators collaborate with researchers at UCSF-affiliated units. The UCSF IRB serves as the IRB of record for the organizations listed below.
Local Requirements: Although UCSF is the IRB of record for these UCSF-affiliated institutions, each may have local submission requirements that must be met prior to beginning the human subjects research.
Of note, SFGH and the SFVAHCS require approval from a separate committee before research can take place at the site. Research studies involving SFDPH require approval from DPH administration.
