Minimize Clinician Workload Provide contact information that patient- participants can access (Ex: phone number, email, website) Create one step process for referrals Manage the consent process Provide one to two study points for clinicians to use to introduce research to potential participants
Minimize Clinician Workload Continue conducting site visits Designate a clinic liaison Create a concierge service to assist in scheduling research and non-research related appointments and connections
Acknowledge & Celebrate Clinicians Contributions Provide clinicians with regular updates about the study Utilize electronic workflows to make this easier! Make clinicians proud to be a part of the research team Show appreciation to the clinic staff Small gifts & food Send thank you notes Acknowledgement in research publications
Remember! Under NIH and Common Rule IRB guidelines, both multi-site and cooperative research projects may: Require the use of a single IRB for oversight. Have a lead site/PI who receives the grant or contract from a sponsor and then establishes a subaward or subcontract to each participating site. Require Reliance Agreements to establish the contractual terms for IRB oversight and project management Note: The UTHSC IRB does not have the staff or resources at this time to serve as the Single/Reviewing IRB for a multisite (e.g., national) study.
