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 Research Start-Up team to determine which, if any, CHCO committee reviews are required. CHCO will issue a clearance letter when all required institutional reviews have been completed, indicating that you may submit your application to COMIRB. COMIRB cannot review your submission without a CHCO clearance letter.

For additional information on the Children’s start-up process please visit the CCHRI Sharepoint. If you have any questions about initiating research at Children’s Hospital Colorado, please contact [email protected].

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.

Single IRB
