Chuck, As I think you mentioned, the Just In Time procedures add a certain amount of work for us in handling the paper more than once. Also, now that the lab animals are Just In Time, we are going to have to look more carefully at that section of the application and troubleshoot, since the IACUC will not have looked at it. We have already been doing this with human subjects. It is a struggle to get our investigators to complete the new human subjects tables and that takes extra time in reviewing those applications and getting them in sufficient shape to approve. We have been more involved in compliance than in years before. Specifically: Conflict of interest reporting. Gathering info, forwarding to COI committee, writing letters to sponsor if COI is found. Human subjects: documentation of training for key personnel; documentation of assurance for subcontractors, IRB approval and training of their key personnel. Much time explaining to foreign subcontractors why they have to get an assurance and helping them to do so. Reporting this to sponsor and keeping a database on training. Animals: any problems with discrepancies between approved protocols and grant applications come back to this office as well as being communicated to the PI from the IACUC. It seems that, in the absence of a formal compliance office in our university, Sponsored Programs has become the de facto compliance office. It is hard to know exactly how much time we spend on this but we were able to get an additional person because of the extra workload, after getting an outside consultant to come in and look at the situation. Hope you are well - Joni.
