Scientific Review
The Scientific Review Committee will ensure that the studies being conducted at USF meet the scientific merit. The SRC will provide experienced and skilled reviewers from different departments across campus. This committee will not delay the submission process in anyway but will facilitate its approval by the IRB. The CTSI –SRC will service those centers and Institutes where the departmental review is not available to the investigator for a scientific review.
