Policies for Grant Submissions

Types of Research Submissions

A research application and Department of OB-GYN Non-Funded Research Submission Checklist must be submitted to the Division Director before an investigator can present the application to the Department Chairman for sign-off. The Division Director�s signature is required on the departmental checklist prior to submitting the project to the Chairman.
The Department Administrator must review and sign all research applications before submitting to the Chairman for sign-off.
When submitting a research application for the Chairman�s signature, include the Department of OB-GYN Non-Funded Research Checklist, and copies of the GCO cover page (GCO Form 1), and protocol summary (GCO Form 4) for the departmental file. This package should be submitted to Monika Mittelholzer.
Sign-off time for the Chairman: 24 to 48 hours.
After a study is approved by the IRB, the investigator must submit a copy of the IRB approval letter to the Grants Manager for the departmental files.
Investigators must maintain complete and well-organized files of all IRB research submissions (including all IRB submissions, all IRB correspondence, and all general correspondence). These files should be organized chronologically by IRB approval year, and should be available for review if there is an internal or external audit.
Departmental oversight will include internal audits.
