Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board (COMIRB) office hours for board chair members

The Pediatric Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board (COMIRB) chairs are now available on the second and fourth Fridays of each month. Their office hours are located in the Cypress conference room (4th floor of the Children's Colorado Administrative Pavilion) from noon to 1 p.m. 

This is an excellent opportunity to get all your IRB questions answered and perhaps get your protocol through with minor mods instead of deferral. The chairs include Drs. Jerry Clayton, Doug Ford, Jeffery Galinkin and David Lawellin.
