Research with Nemours

Purpose

Jefferson and Nemours IRB’s have entered into a Master Reliance Agreement to facilitate more efficient review of research when studies involve only Nemours sites and patients. This Master Reliance Agreement process may only be used if all of the following conditions are met:

  • There are no research activities to occur at Jefferson
  • No Jefferson patients will be enrolled in the study 
  • No Jefferson patient data will be used in the study
  • There is no data-sharing between Jefferson and Nemours

If one of the conditions are not met, please view the Academic & Other External IRBs page to determine if a reliance request is appropriate.
