ISMMS Approvals Needed for Research

• Financial Conflict of Interest in Research Committee (FCOIRC)
• Grants and Contracts Office (GCO)

  • Effective for any new Industry trial submitted to PPHS after January 1, 2024, this workflow removes the requirement to submit these studies through Infoed.

  • Industry sponsored clinical trials and related studies with no competitive review process that have already been submitted to the GCO, please do continue submitting the non-competitive applications to the GCO through close out.

  • Industry funding where MSIP signs the agreement and all industry funding that is peer reviewed, including but not limited to SBIR/STTR subawards, continues to require GCO submission and review.

  • Internally funded studies (by Icahn School of Medicine) do not need to be submitted to GCO unless GCO is responsible for signing the research related agreement (e.g., drug donation agreement, data transfer use agreement) or the project is not submitted to the PPHS or IACUC offices.
