The Networked IRB Database

该提案是达特茅斯学院和费城儿童医院在开发国家、集中和安全的基于网络的IRB数据库方面合作的延续，其具体目标是使以下方面的有效和高效手段成为可能： IRB、研究人员和申办者之间的教育和沟通。IRBNet是研究人员制定方案和知情同意书的教育来源，也是参与多中心研究时协助协调多个IRB活动的系统。IRBNet将提供给全国所有机构，因此这一举措实际上是一种共享资源。IRBNet促进教育、标准化和交流。按照最初的设想，IRBNet将于2003年7月开始β测试。进一步供资的主要目标包括： A.在国家一级实施IRBNet B。IRBNet第一阶段的改进 C. IRBNet第二阶段的附加功能（包括快速、豁免、续期表格） D.改进知情同意程序

This proposal is a continuation of the collaboration between Dartmouth College and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in the development of a national, centralized and secure web-based IRB database, with the specific aim of making possible an effective and efficient means of education and communication among IRBs, researchers, and sponsors. IRBNet is a source of education to researchers in the development of protocols and consent forms as well as a system to assist in the coordination of activities of multiple IRBs when participating in multi-center research studies. IRBNet will be available to all institutions across the country and thus this initiative is indeed a shared resource. IRBNet promotes education, standardization and communication. As originally envisioned, IRBNet will begin beta testing in July 2003. The primary objectives for further funding include: A. Implementation of IRBNet on a national scale B. Enhancements to phase one of IRBNet C. Additional features for phase two of IRBNet (including Expedited, Exempt, Renewal Forms) D. Improving the Informed Consent Process
