Investigator Roles

All Investigators and research assistants should be aware of any potential complications or side effects and continuously check for potential problems. It is the responsibility of all members of the research team to report adverse events. If an adverse event occurs, it is the Principal Investigator's responsibility to determine if the event is serious and unanticipated and probably or definitely related to the research. If so, a report describing the incident should be sent to the IRB using the appropriate form. If you are unsure what constitutes a serious adverse event or how to complete the form, please contact the IRB Office.
