RE: Regulatory status for EIP

Hello Sonja,
The purpose of this e-mail is to confirm the regulatory status of the projects funded through
the EIP Cooperative Agreement. EIP is a hybrid CoAg that allows for both research and nonresearch activities. I generally do not know which activities are or might be research until I
receive the applications.
However, I can confirm that the Core surveillance activities for each program area are nonresearch and do not require IRB review.
Thank you,
James
