Research Protocol Submissions

 

VA Research and Development submissions consist of the forms below, as applicable.  The original packet and 6 copies are due to our office by the first Monday of the month to be included on the VA Research & Development (R&D) Committee agenda for the corresponding month.  There is no meeting in December.

Please note that in order for us to include human studies on our R&D agenda, the protocol must also have been submitted simultaneously to the IRB.  You can reach the IRB at 567-2351 or http://research.uthscsa.edu/irb/   

A change to your protocol or study personnel must be reported to and approved by the VA Research office prior to implementation.   Changes in studies involving human subjects must also be reported to the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
