Interested in becoming an IRB Member?
The OUHSC Institutional Review Board (IRB) currently has openings for new IRB members. The IRB reviews applications and reports
for human research projects to ensure that the rights and welfare of human participants are protected and that risk of harm is minimized.
If you are interested in medical or social science research and would like to be involved with protecting the rights, safety and welfare of
individuals who volunteer to participate in research, IRB membership may be for you. Current members have expressed that of all the
committee’s they have participated in, the IRB has been the most rewarding. Members enjoy an increased understanding of research
and exposure to cutting edge issues and current controversies in medical diagnostics and treatments. In addition, valuable collaboration
may result from working closely with board members from a variety of disciplines.
If you are interested in learning more about IRB membership, please contact the HRPP Office at 405-271-2045 or email to
donna-hogan@ouhsc.edu.

The Oklahoma Clinical and Translational Science Institute (OCTSI) and Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational
Resources (OSCTR) is soliciting applications for its Clinical and Translational Research Pilot (CTRP) Grants Program and its
Community Engaged Research Exploratory Awards.
Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources Clinical and Translational Research Pilot (CTRP) Grants
The purpose of the program is to provide funding for collaborative and/or multi-disciplinary clinical and translational pilot projects
between investigators of the OSCTR member institutions. The program seeks to support proposals designed to generate preliminary
data that will result in improved health and/or healthcare for citizens of Oklahoma and other IDeA states and enhance the
competitiveness of the investigators for future extramural funding. The program also seeks to fund innovative concepts, approaches,
and methodologies that bring fresh new ideas to solving the health issues of those living in Oklahoma and collaborating IDeA states.
Projects that focus on the medically underserved and on health concerns prevalent within Oklahoma and our OSCTR partners will
be a priority. Only projects which meet the NIH definition of clinical and/or translational research will be accepted.
Approved CTRP grants will be funded for a period starting January 1, 2020 contingent on NIH approval of just in time (JIT) information.
All funds are required to be expended by December 31, 2020.
The forms, instructions, and submission link can be found at: http://osctr.ouhsc.edu/pilots2019
Deadlines for submission: Pilot Proposal – Friday, August 9, 2019 at 5:00 PM CDT
Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources Community-Engaged Research Exploratory (CERE) Awards
This program is intended to support community engagement to develop funded research partnerships. Funds can be used for research
development activities, including convening partners, working with individuals pursuing related work, and conducting needs assessments
in community settings. The funds cannot be used to support actual human-subjects research protocols, which can be funded under other
OSCTR pilot research programs and/or external funding.
The application should consist of a 2-page letter from the main applicant (which can be either a community agency or an academic
researcher) describing the collaboration, the contributions that the proposed work will make to a successful research partnership, and a
line item budget. Budget requests are expected to be $5,000-$10,000 with budgets that permit the expenditure of the entire award by
June 30, 2020. A separate letter of support from either the academic or community partner indicating their agreement with the proposed
activities should also be included. Proposals will be evaluated on a rolling basis beginning July 1, 2019. Please submit proposals by
email to osctr@ouhsc.edu.
Questions
Interested applicants can discuss their proposal, eligibility, allowable budget items, and available funding by contacting the OSCTR staff
at osctr@ouhsc.edu or call 405-271-3480.
