Designated Ancillary Reviewers

Below are the designated ancillary reviewers for University of Houston Colleges and Division of Research (DOR) Centers.

Two levels of ancillary reviewers must be assigned to the IRB protocol within ICON (three, in the case of the College of Optometry and the College of Pharmacy). ONE of these assigned reviewers must submit an ancillary review in ICON prior to sumbission to the IRB for review.

The College/Center will follow its own processes for ensuring the appropriate individual submits his/her review. The purpose of these reviews is 1) to verify scientific merit, 2) to ensure appropriateness of the research topic and methods for the specific College/Center, and 3) to provide key individuals within the College/Department/Center with information regarding research being conducted within the College/Department/Center. 

Please add biosafety/radiation safety ancillart reviewers as needed based on the afents used within the research.
