How are CCIR projects/studies reviewed?
When a research proposal is submitted to the CCIR, it will first be reviewed by the CCIR Operations Team. Once feasibility of the study is confirmed, the proposal is forwarded to the CCIR Executive Committee for the final review and approval. Once approval is obtained, a full blown research proposal is prepared and integrated into the CCIR information management system. During this second stage of the review, the investigator works closely with CCIR staff to refine and optimize the study protocol. Once the protocol is finalized and IRB approval is obtained, research subjects can be scheduled.
