Scientific Review Committee (SRC)

A UNC-Chapel Hill oversight body that, as a precursor to IRB review, assesses the scientific merit and integrity of Human Subjects Research (HSR) that meets the regulatory criteria of greater than minimal risk, that have not previously undergone rigorous scientific review by a panel of experts assembled specifically to evaluate the project using criteria similar to the SRC, that do not have a focus on cancer research nor recruit research subjects from UNC oncology clinics (such studies are to be submitted for review by the Protocol Review Committee (PRC)), and whose role is not solely that of a participating study site in a multi-center, industry-sponsored study. The Office of Clinical Trials (OCT) is the home of the SRC. UNC-Chapel Hill OVCR OCT: SRC
