HRPP & IRB

Policies and Review Scope

Operational policies for ethical review, investigator responsibilities, documentation, conflicts, meetings, reporting, records, and participant protections.

Overview

Written institutional procedure governs every review.

Stella Nova’s HRPP policy framework addresses review pathways, investigator responsibilities, participant protections, conflicts, board operations, reporting, records, correspondence, and institutional oversight. Formal determinations are issued only under adopted procedures and documented authority.

Review pathways

Not-human-subjects research, exempt determination, limited review, expedited review, convened review, amendments, reportable events, continuing review where applicable, and closure.

Board operations

Roster, expertise, affiliation, conflicts, assignments, agendas, quorum, recusals, votes, minutes, and findings.

Participant protections

Risk, equitable selection, consent, privacy, confidentiality, safeguards, data management, and monitoring.

Records and auditability

Protocol versions, documents, correspondence, training, reviews, determinations, meetings, signatures, status history, and controlled retention.

Next step

Policy status accompanies every HRPP document.

Adopted policies govern institutional action. Materials under development or institutional review are identified by status and are not used to issue formal determinations.
