IRB Organization number), an FWA (Federalwide Assurance) number and an IRB (Institutional Review Board) HRRC (Human Research Review Committee) registration number?
The IORG number identifies the institution. The university has only one IORG number. FWA (Federalwide Assurance) numbers identify the branch campuses that have filed assurances that they will comply with the federal regulations covering the protection of human subjects. Each branch campus has an FWA number. (WSU has one FWA number. The Rochester Center is not technically a branch campus.) The IRB HRRC number is the registration number identifying each IRB on campus. Institutions may have multiple IRBs.
