Does my protocol/amendment have to be submitted for P/CSRC Review?

Your Medical Officer or Program Officer can advise you on the requirements for C/PSRC Review.

I know that my protocol/amendment has to be submitted for P/CSRC Review. To whom do I submit the documents?

These documents should be submitted to: Your Medical Officer or Program Officer, The DAIDS contact for PSRC or CSRC, CSIO@tech-res.com and DAIDSRSC-CSRC@tech-res.com or DAIDSRSC-PSRC@tech-res.com

How do I receive an invitation to the teleconference for a P/CSRC Review?

The P/CSRC requested a response to its comments. Do I send this to RSC or DAIDS?

Your response should be sent to your Medical Officer (or Program Officer if your protocol does not have a Medical Officer). S/he will forward the response as appropriate.

FOR CSRC ONLY: My protocol/amendment already went through CSRC Review. Does my protocol/amendment have to be re-submitted for a second CSRC Review or for Final Approval?
