4.2.5.5 CIB Coordination With Other Reviewers

The CIB shall function independently of, but in coordination with, other institutional committees. The CIB may approve, approve with conditions/modifications, or disapprove all research activities that fall within its jurisdiction as specified by both governmental and institutional policies. Approval by the CIB, in and of itself, shall not constitute approval for full implementation since a protocol may be subject to review and disapproval by other Lewis & Clark research review bodies. In turn, no institutional officials or committees may approve the conduct of research that has been disapproved by the Lewis & Clark CIB.
