VA Information

     The research of this institution is governed by VHA, DHHS and FDA regulations protecting the rights, safety, and confidentiality of human subjects in research. An approved Federalwide Assurance for the East Tennessee State University/James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center Institutional Review Board (ETSU/VA IRB) is on file with the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Human Research Protection.

     Completion of various compliance courses in the ethical conduct of human subject research is required prior to submission. Compliance education is verified by the VA R&D and the IRB Administration at the time of submission. Research proposals/protocols will not be accepted by the Human Research Protections Program IRB Administration until credentialing has been verified by the VA R&D and the Principal Investigator and the study members of the research team (e.g., co- sub-investigator, research coordinators, etc.) have completed the required compliance course(s) or equivalent course(s) (written proof of course completion will be required prior to proposal submission).

     Investigators who are seeking to conduct research at the James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) * must additionally seek approval from the VA Research and Development Committee (VA R&D) prior to initiating research activity. VA R&D approval is contingent upon IRB approval.

*Using veteran patients, the VA facilities, equipment or VA time.
