The Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board (COMIRB) includes five institutional review boards (IRBs) for review of human subjects research for the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus and its affiliates: Children's Hospital Colorado, Denver Health and Hospital Authority, University of Colorado Health, and the VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System. 

Actions by COMIRB will be guided by the principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice set forth in the Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research (often referred to as the Belmont Report). Learn more about our continuous quality improvement.

COMIRB Letters Update

Nov 25, 2020

COMIRB is simplifying the format of our Approval, Minor-Modification and Deferral letters. For Deferral and Minor-Modification letters, any questions and concerns will be stated at the beginning of the letter. Common IRB regulatory determinations will be stated in the Approval letters, and any other COMIRB determinations will only be included in IRB minutes but not in Approval letters. HIPAA regulatory determinations will also be included in the Approval letter and COMIRB will no longer issue separate HIPAA letters. If you have any questions, please contact us at COMIRB@cudenver.edu.
