Approvals
Scientific Review Committee (SRC) Approval
The investigator submits the completed proposal to the Scientific Review Committee (SRC) Co-Chairs (Ronn Tanel, Chitra Ravishankar, and Dana Gal) and the PAC³ Program Coordinator (Craig Schott). Two-three reviewers will be assigned to review the proposal, and their suggestions will be compiled and sent back to the investigator within 4 weeks of submission. This review will indicate whether the proposal has been accepted with minor revisions, requires major revisions for reconsideration, or is rejected. The author can request a meeting with the SRC chairs to discuss the outcome of the proposal and how the proposal can be strengthened. Proposal revisions should be submitted within six weeks of the review or meeting with the chairs.
Please note, if the proposal includes fields from another registry within Cardiac Networks United, it will need to be approved by that collaborative’s Scientific Review Committee as well. Approval from another registry’s SRC will be coordinated by the PAC³ SRC.
IRB Approval
The Data Coordinating Center at Michigan has an IRB that covers storage of PAC3 data at UM, as well as a separate blanket IRB that covers the UM-portions of many PAC3 research and QI Projects.
