The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) / Department of Health (DOH) Human Subjects Review Board reviews research activities that are:

• Sponsored by DSHS or DOH
• Conducted by an employee or agent of DSHS or DOH
• Using any DSHS or DOH property or facility
• Involving the use of DSHS or DOH  non-public information to identify or contact human research subjects or prospective subjects.

Review is reciprocal, with review following funding AND source of subjects.  If a University of Washington researcher submits new funding, the initial human subjects review would be submitted through the UW; if funding is awarded, review may transfer to DSHS/DOH.
