VCU Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) Blog

The VCU HRPP is dedicated to facilitating ethically and scientifically sound research through robust review of research projects and through effective education and outreach to the VCU research community.

If you are a PI on a study and have plans to leave VCU in the near future, please ensure that you have taken the proper steps regarding your IRB studies prior to your separation from the institution.
  • If a study is to remain open, please submit an amendment in RAMS-IRB to change the PI (or Medically Responsible Investigator, if applicable) for each protocol*.
  • If you plan on closing a study upon separation, please submit a study closure request in RAMS-IRB*.

* Please allow adequate time for IRB review and processing of the above actions prior to your separation date.

You may contact [email protected] for a current list of studies if you are unsure of how to find this in RAMS-IRB.

Please refer to VCU HR’s Guidelines for Separating Faculty and Staff for requirements related to Human Subjects Research here.
