Protocol Submissions
All protocol submissions are done through IRBNet (VAIRRS). When a research study application is submitted in IRBNet, the application will be routed to the appropriate committee based on the type of research being performed. All human subjects trials are required to have IRB approval prior to initiating the research.
If you are interested in submitting a new protocol or have questions about becoming a VA Principal Investigator, please contact Kimberly Marcolivio at Kimberly.Marcolivio@va.gov or 401-273-7100 Ext. 13464.
