Hawai‘i Pacific Health Research Institute (HPHRI)
Hawai‘i Pacific Health Research Institute (HPHRI) is available to assist researchers with protocol development, Scientific Review Committee submission, Administrative review and IRB submission.
Hawai‘i Pacific Health uses the Western Institutional Review Board (WIRB) as it’s IRB of record.
How to submit a new research project:
To assure that all clinical researchers understand their responsibility to protect the welfare of their research subjects, Hawai‘i Pacific Health (HPH) requires that researchers be “certified” in human subjects protection before conducting research.
Human Subjects Research Protection Training
Submit a complete or draft protocol with data collection sheet to Christine Nelson at christine.nelson@kapiolani.org. A preliminary review of your project will be done.
After the preliminary review is complete a member of the HPHRI team will contact you to complete the required forms for your specific project.
All research conducted at Hawai‘i Pacific Health must have scientific review by the Scientific Review Committee. HPHRI will submit your project to the Scientific Review Committee on your behalf and contact you with the results of the review.
Should your project require full IRB review, the HPHRI team will assist you with the submission to the Western IRB.
