ORI News Alerts

The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) provides administrative support for UK’s Institutional Review Boards and provides guidance to faculty, staff and students engaged in the conduct of research with human subjects. ORI utilizes a number of tools including email announcements, newsletters and websites to timely inform researchers regarding news, regulatory guidance, form updates, etc.

If you are interested in receiving announcements and the newsletter by email, please forward your name and email address to Larry Iten at aliten@uky.edu. In addition, you may view announcements and the newsletter on the ORI website at http://www.research.uky.edu/ori/WhatsNew2008.htm.

New Informed Consent Templates

A recent VAMC Research & Development site visit from the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Research Oversight (ORO) has necessitated revisions to the UK consent template (8/27/08). Per VA ORO requirements, references to VA have been removed and included in a VA specific consent template on VA Form 10-1086. The VA consent form will be used for studies that recruit subjects from the VAMC. VA R&D has held a series of education sessions for researchers currently conducting studies at the VAMC. A general audience session is being planned for December in conjunction with the CR-DOC Clinical Research Updates. Contact VA Research & Development for additional guidance at (859)-281-4927.
