Ancillary review

Additional signs-offs or approvals pertaining to the specific research required by institutional or funding entity policy(ies) or by regulation, statute, or law. For example, UNC-Chapel Hill requires that the UNC-Chapel Hill Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) review all studies using any form of radiation. Ancillary reviews vary in whether they may occur before, during, or after review by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), but most must be completed before initiating the research/site activation.
