SUBJECT:  To Other Institutions 

Cooperative research projects are those which involve more than one institution. In the conduct of cooperative research projects, each institution is responsible for safeguarding the rights and welfare of human subjects and for complying with this policy. With the approval of the department or agency head, an institution participating in a cooperative project may enter into a joint review arrangement, rely upon the review of another qualified HRAC, or make similar arrangements for avoiding duplication of effort (38CFR16.114; 45CFR46.114).

The HRAC reviews research involving human subjects, regardless of sponsorship, for the following institutions:

            University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS)

            Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute (CARTI)

            Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH)

            Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute (ACHRI)

            Central Arkansas Veteran’s Healthcare System (CAVHS)

            Arkansas Department of Health (ADH)

            Arkansas State Hospital (ASH)
