IMPORTANT CHANGES WITH BANNER FINANCIAL SYSTEM
Updated Grant Participant Registration (GPR) Form Now Available with FOAPAL - Use the new form for the correct registration of research subjects to ensure all services are billed according to the terms of the Grant. Study Coordinators must complete a GPR Form each time a Research Subject has a research procedure or test. Click here for the updated GPR Form and Instructions.
The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 codified into law the requirements for registration of clinical trials on CLINICALTRIALS.GOV. The National Institute of Health also provides guidance on the requirement of the law. The law is consistent with the previous registration requirements issued by International Committee of Journal Medical Editors (ICMJE) for publication rights. The U.S. Government does now mandate additional data elements (that were previously optional) and has enhanced the clinicaltrials.gov site to facilitate full compliance.
The IRB Application Forms for Medical Intervention protocols (especially WIRB) have been updated and are available on the WEB! Please be sure to only use forms available on the Temple IRB Decision Tree and use a new form each time - as they are subject to minor change
