If there are personnel not affiliated with the University of Iowa (that is, they are not actively appointed faculty, staff, or students of the UI) who will be conducting or are engaged in the research, they will also need to have their activity reviewed by an IRB. This review requirement applies to any individual that may be working or volunteering with the research team, even on a short-term basis such as students during summer months or students participating in clinical or educational rotations or classes. If these individuals are not affiliated with an entity that has an IRB, the investigator may be able to list them as a non-UI member of the research team. However, there are additional procedural steps and documentation that needs to be provided in the HawkIRB application in order for the IRB to approve the addition of a non-UI research team member. For more information, refer to the section on Collaborative Research. Before adding non-UI personnel to the research team, contact the HSO to discuss the situation.
