For collaborative research at the 3T MRI Facility in Newark, is IRB approval from both the Rutgers and UMDNJ IRBs required?
Yes. A Cooperative Agreement no longer exists between the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) and Rutgers regarding IRB review of collaborative protocols conducted at the 3T MRI Facility located on the UMDNJ campus in Newark. As a result, investigators who propose to conduct research at the Facility need to submit an application to both the UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School IRB and to Rutgers IRB. UMDNJ application forms may be downloaded from the UMDNJ-Newark Campus IRB website: http://www.umdnj.edu/irbnweb Rutgers IRB forms may be downloaded from the Rutgers website http://orsp.rutgers.edu These sites also contains the most current information available about the IRB deadline dates and review processes. Investigators may contact the UMDNJ-Newark Campus IRB staff by telephone at: 973/972-3608 and the Rutgers IRB office at 732-932-0150 ext 2104.
