Clinical Research Tip of the Month
Early-Stage Research Regulatory Oversight Program
The primary mission of the Early-Stage Research Regulatory Oversight Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin is to collaborate with, and to aid those investigators interested in early-phase research conducted in compliance with all applicable regulations. The Program provides regulatory expertise to support the early-stage development of investigator initiated clinical research at MCW.
The purpose of the Research Oversight Program is to:
- Provide education to faculty and staff who hold, or aspire to hold, Food & Drug Administration (FDA) granted Investigational New Drug (IND) and Investigational Device Exemption (IDE).
- Register and track investigator held IND and IDE.
- Create institutional policies to ensure FDA-regulated research complies with federal regulations.
- Serve as liaison to the FDA and the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) for research teams and the institution.
