• For non-ED studies, there must be a ED physician listed as a co-investigator.
• Contact the EMRAP Director and EMRAP Coordinators to work with you to answer any questions you may have on what EMRAP can and cannot do for your research study.
  • To help with the IRB for the methods section regarding the role of EMRAP
  • Ask for current EMRAP Research Associate names to be added to the IRB as Research Personnel
• After IRB approval, present the study at an EMRAP Friday Meeting
  • At least one-week prior, provide a study summary of the research study (introduction, inclusion/exclusion criteria, methods: one paragraph)
  • EMRAP liaison/research coordinator will be selected by the time of your presentation date
  • Prepare a PowerPoint presentation on the specifics of your study and how EMRAP will be involved/EMRAP Research Associate roles in the research study
  • Meet with the EMRAP liaison to create a screening log/data collection sheet, prepare consent forms/HIPAA forms, a study binder, additional documents needed for study implementation (can be done prior to the study presentation if time permits)
• EMRAP liaison will prepare a study binder and present the necessary study forms and the procedure of enrolling patients during the next EMRAP meeting
  • Study binders need to include all IRB documents:
    • Protocol Narrative
    • Consent Forms
    • Study Participation Forms
    • Data Collection Forms

• Study enrollment should begin after all the required presentations are completed (and once all the forms and study binder are ready)
