Important Update
On April 14, the NIH sent Harvard University a Stop Work Order of the SMART IRB federal funding contract.
From the beginning, SMART IRB has been a collaborative, grassroots effort: SMART IRB was built by and for the community. It is not owned by Harvard, NIH, HHS, or any other entity.  At this time, Harvard is supporting the core team to maintain the Agreement and assist Participating Institutions to the best of our abilities. It is our intention to continue to provide this vital support to advance collaborative research. Please contact us for assistance.
