New Form: NCI Adult/Pediatric CIRB Application for Treatment Studies
New form combines Forms 5A and 5B to minimize and simplify form process. The
questions being asked are the same for both Adult and Pediatric Applications for
Treatment Studies. This facilitates and simplifies the process by implementing one
form rather then having two separate forms. The form must be completed for either
Adult or Pediatric Trial; therefore, there is not an increase or decrease in time to
complete. The effort of burden remains the same.
