The HIC Chair is charged to review and approve new protocols and amendments to existing protocols that meet criteria for expedited review, and grant exemptions for research submissions that meet the rigid standards thereof. He/she also serves as the Steering Committee chair, and generally sets the agenda for the monthly meetings. The HIC Chair, or Vice Chair, is required to manage activities associated with applications for Single Time Use of a Test Article, so-called “compassionate use”. The HIC Chair is also named, and his/her telephone number listed on all WSU and Affiliate consent forms, as the contact person for research questions that may arise from study participants.
The HIC is comprised of (1) four distinctly specialized subsidiary IRBs, (2) a Steering Committee which consists of the chairs and vice chairs of the four IRBs, one elected member from each IRB, several appointed members, and the Assistant Vice President for Research of WSU and (3) support staff that is composed, in part, of research compliance administrators, a compliance officer and an education coordinator. The Steering Committee is charged with adjudicating issues referred by individual IRBs, drafting policy, and approving procedures for the operation of the HIC, while the four dedicated IRBs are necessary to manage the number of research protocols active at any given time (approximately 2,500).
