Exempt studies involving investigators from other US-institutions have the option to submit the project to each IRB or submit to one and let the other IRBs accept that exemption determination (without a formal reliance process where IRB agreements must be in place).
If the project ends up being submitted to the MU IRB, the MU IRB may also determine it is acceptable to add external investigators to the MU IRB application with documented CITI training instead of requiring the investigator to submit to their local IRB for an exemption (with the acceptance of the local IRB of course).
If you already received an exemption determination from another IRB, complete the “Collaborative Exempt Notification Form” in e-Compliance to notify the MU IRB about collaborative exempt research. MU’s role in the study must have been included in the review determination. The MU IRB will review the determination, and if the MU IRB agrees with the exempt determination, you do not need to submit a separate exempt application here. The MU IRB reserves the right to request the project also be submitted to the MU IRB.
