The WVU Office of Human Research Protections is offering Office Hours via Zoom to
provide support to the research community. Investigators, research staff, and/or
students are encouraged to drop into these sessions at their convenience with questions
about ongoing research, developing research projects, the WVU+kc system, general
IRB considerations, etc. A variety of staff from OHRP will be available to answer
questions and provide support. Contact Kasandra Lambert for questions. Stay up
to date by visiting the OHRP calendar periodically and keep an eye out for email
reminders from the WVU+kc users listserv.
Procurement, Contracting, and Payment Services PCPS announced on May 31, 2022, that West Virginia University has selected Prepaid Technologies as its new provider for prepaid card services. Please visit procurement.wvu.edu for more information.
In an effort to further reduce investigator burden, more closely harmonize with DHHS
New Common Rule changes to Expedited reviews, and prepare for a new KC system (possibly
later this year), WVU is modifying how it currently reviews and approves Expedited
studies. Because of these changes, you may be required to take action.
To remain compliant with FDA and DHHS Common Rule regulations and to protect the integrity of WVU’s AAHRPP Accreditation status and Federalwide Assurance (FWA), WVU OHRP will be making changes regarding protocol expiration policies.
Please review this letter from Dr. Fred King regarding research studies studies that involve
DOD funding and/or include DOD personnel as a targeted population.
