From Concept to Implementation
By streamlining processes and offering expert guidance, the OPS helps accelerate discoveries and drive meaningful impact in cancer research.
At the earliest stage of developing a cancer-related concept—whether completing a form or a draft protocol—the pre-review process is designed to provide guidance and support through:
Review Form
Development
Regulatory
Compliance and
Organization
Population Sciences
Site Disease Group
(SDG) Leader
Support
- Step 1: Complete the Concept Review Form or provide a draft protocol to Office of Population Sciences Team. To support this process, OPS will coordinate the Site Disease Group (SDG) and Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee (PRMC) meeting assignments and assist with preparing the presentation.
- Step 2: Present the Concept Form and protocol to Population Sciences Oversight Chairs for review. They will provide feedback and support as needed and confirm SDG assignment.
- Step 3: Secure a completed, SDG-endorsed Concept Review Form by the Population Sciences SDG leaders.
Once a concept has completed the pre-review processes through IRB approval, our research operations team may further support the project from regulatory management to data management and quality assurance. This support can help reduce investigator workload during protocol development and streamline PRMC and IRB review timelines.
The purpose of pre-review is to enhance feasibility, statistical rigor, and scientific merit at the early stages of development to assure full administrative and regulatory compliance prior to Sylvester’s PRMC and UM IRB submission.
