Banner Health (BH) is the University of Arizona's academic medical partner. This partnership is governed by an Academic Affiliation Agreement (AAA). Research studies covered by the AAA are known as “covered studies”. Covered studies must meet the two following criteria:
-
Principal Investigator (PI) is a Banner University Medical Group (BUMG) faculty physician (MD, DO, MBBS) and holds a University of Arizona faculty title; and
-
Research involves one or more BH resources:
-
Research involves a select site (BUMC-T, BUMC-South, BUMC-P, or BH clinics)
-
Potential study subjects have or had a treating relationship with BH
-
Data is being collected on BH patients
-
Biological samples are being collected on BH patients
Research studies that do not meet these two criteria are known as “non-covered studies”. These are studies conducted by a PI who is not a BUMG faculty physician. Please contact our office with questions.
