For multi-site studies
- When the RSRB will act as the Reviewing IRB, submissions are assigned to Michelle Giglio at michelle_giglio@urmc.rochester.edu
- When an External IRB will act as the Reviewing IRB, submissions are assigned to Chelsea Marsh at chelsea_marsh@urmc.rochester.edu.
- IRB reliance questions can also be directed to ur_irb_reliance@urmc.rochester.edu.
Once a proposal has been submitted to the RSRB and has been assigned an IRB Coordinator, the assigned coordinator can be identified in the upper right corner of the study workspace.
Note: All IRB coordinators work remotely. They can be contacted by the email and phone numbers listed below, and are also available through MS Teams and Zoom.
