CSTE IRB Workgroup

HIPAA Waivers and ICF Waivers

Good morning Everyone, 
I was wondering if any of your document in your approval letters the specific criteria for the HIPAA Waivers and/or ICF waivers?  If you do, could you provide an example of the  language?
Thank you.

Hi Robin - It may be overkill, but I create a table like the attached for Initial Review Approval Letters.  Not sure if this is what you're looking for.  Also, to add a bit of context, my researcher group primarily conducts research secondary to their public health role.  Because of this, I take the opportunity to educate them in the form of IRB letters.  This also helps the IRB reviewer hit all of the aspects they may need to address.  

With more "seasoned" researchers, you would probably not need to include so much of the detail.

Thank you, Joni.  This table is very helpful.  My IAD has retired and I am trying to get our policies in order.  I appreciate you responding so quickly.
