Multi-Site Projects
MCW considers a multi-site project to be a human subjects research study that will be initiated at more than one location other than or in addition to MCW or identified partners (Froedtert Health System or Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin). This definition includes community-based projects as well as clinical trials. Examples include:
- MCW and Children’s Wisconsin
- Froedtert Hospital and Marquette
- MCW and United Community Center
- Clinical trial conducted at numerous sites, even if all sites obtain IRB approval independently of each other.
If you are uncertain if your project is considered "multi-site," contact the HRPP Office for guidance.
