Children's Hospital Colorado (CHCO)
COMIRB serves as IRB for Children's Hospital Colorado.
Site Specific Information
Pre-IRB Review
All research occurring at Children’s Hospital Colorado must be submitted through the Human Subjects Research Portal, which will route it to the CHCO Operational Needs Assessment committee for institutional review. CHCO will issue a clearance letter when they have completed their review, indicating that you may submit your application to COMIRB. Once you receive the clearance letter from the HSR Portal, include it in your COMIRB submission. COMIRB cannot review your submission without a CHCO clearance letter.
For additional information on the Children’s start-up process please visit the CHRE Sharepoint. If you have any questions about initiating research at Children’s Hospital Colorado, please contact ResearchStartup@childrenscolorado.org.
Quality Improvement
Any quality improvement projects taking place at CHCO must be submitted to CHCO's Organizational Research Risk and Quality Improvement Review Panel (ORRQIRP). You can also find more resources about ORRQIRP here.
