How does one apply for an FWA?
The OHRP website provides the information, and the application form, needed to apply for a Federalwide Assurance (FWA) including step-by-step instructions for domestic ( U.S.) and international (non-U.S.) institutions. The FWA form is to be completed and signed by the collaborating institution. The FWA form does not need a signature by anyone at the University of Washington. Step-by-step instructions provided by the OHRP web site should be followed by the institution completing this form. The FWA form, Section 5, “Designation of Institution Review Boards IRBs,” requests that the institution designate IRB(s) for review of research under their Assurance. The institution may list the University of Washington IRB(s), and other IRBs, if and as appropriate.
