MR Research Committee (MRRC)
Given the numerous regulations regarding safety and requests for machine time, at the request of the director of the MR Core Research Facility (MRRF) and other regulatory officials, the MR Research Committee (MRRC) has been formed. MRRC is responsible for the maintenance, administration and proper use of the instruments operated by the MRRF. It is similar in function to those commonly found in other major MR Centers throughout the US. The MRRC’s responsibility is to review applications for MR-related aspects that are not reviewed by other oversight committees. The MRRC has two subcommittees that are responsible for the use of the 3T instruments and the 7T instrument, respectively.
Moreover, the MR research review committee is responsible with the assessment of a pilot and funded proposal for the following four issues:
- MR safety requirements
- Operational requirements
- Study design related to MR issues for unfunded pilot studies
- Priority of the proposal regarding magnet and personnel time
