How to Propose a Multicenter IRRF Study?

Investigators interested in proposing a new IRRF study can submit their proposal to Ajay Niranjan, MD, MBA, (niraax@upmc.edu) via e-mail.  After initial screen, the proposal will be forwarded to the IRRF Project Review Committee (PRC) headed by Manmeet Ahluwalia, MD. The review process usually takes 2-3 weeks.  After approval by PRC, the project will be sent to all IRRF members for review and interest in participation.

​The submission package should include a brief description (3-4 pages) of the project (abstract, hypothesis, background, and method) and an excel sheet with parameters that will need to be collected by the participating sites.
