The UW Health Sciences IRBs, through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), serve as the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of record for William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital (Madison VA) human subjects research studies which are not otherwise reviewed by a central IRB of the VA or other federal agency. This policy documents requirements for research conducted under the purview of the Madison VA that add to or differ from those outlined in the UW-Madison Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) policies for the review of human subjects research.
