Research Steps

To complete research with CCHS, each project is required to have:

1. Find a collaborator within CCHS

2. Submit a Request to Conduct Research form to the CCHS Reasearch Review Group

The CCHS Research Review Group is dedicated to evaluating research proposals from both internal (CCHS) and external investigators. Our goal is to collaborate effectively to facilitate the approval of these proposals, thereby enabling data collection within the college. It is made up of our Associate Dean for Research (ADR), Chief Nursing Officer (CNO), Director of Medical Records and Privacy, Health Information Technology (Health IT) Director, Assistant Residency Director Research and Quality Improvement and Proposal Development Specialist.

3. Obtain approval from the University of Alabama Institutional Review Board (IRB)

4. Notify the Research Review Group of your IRB status.
