The first question asked is: Is there external funding for the research? If the answer is YES, the institution (either SC or UW) that is the direct* recipient of the funding from the external sponsor does the review. *Direct recipient means the institution that is closest to the source of the external funding. For example: if 糖心少女receives funding from NIH and then subcontracts with SC for some parts of the research, then 糖心少女is the direct recipient. If the answer to the question is NO, then the next question to ask is: Does the research involve interaction with the subjects (in person, internet, social media, phone, email, etc.)? If the answer to this question is YES, the institution (either SC or UW) where the majority of the interactions will occur does the review. If the answer to this question is NO, then the next question to ask is: Were or are all of the identifiable data and or specimens being used for this research collected from the subjects for some other purpose or study? If the answer to this question is YES, then the institution (either SC or UW) from which the majority of the specimens or data are being obtained does the review. If the answer to this question is NO, then you should email the Human Subjects Division at hsdrely@uw.edu and request a consultation.\" align=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research involving two institutions normally requires review by each institution\u2019s IRB.
