Conducting Research at the Atlanta VA

Like all institutions, the Atlanta VA Medical Center has policies and procedures regulating the conduct of research at its facility. AREF helps researchers navigate these sometimes confusing rules governing studies at federal institutions.

The Science Information Office (SIO) and the Human Studies Analyst act as resources for investigators, study coordinators, and laboratory personnel during the design and implementation of your projects. We encourage you to utilize these members of our team should you have any questions or need guidance.

Submission Guidelines | VA Human Studies

If your project includes the use of human subjects you must submit the proper forms directly to the Emory Institutional Review Board (IRB) office. Once Emory University IRB approval is received, the investigator is responsible for forwarding a copy of the approval letter and any associated consent forms to the Science Information Office at the VA Medical Center.

The IRB meets on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesday of each month. Information on submission types and all the necessary forms can be found on the IRB website.
