Research Review Panel

The Research Review Panel serves to:

  • Ensure that all research involving PHDMC data, staff, or clients supports the mission of PHDMC.
  • Ensure that PHDMC staff are active collaborators on all proposals initiated by external researchers, where appropriate.
  • Ensure that the Health Commissioner is aware of the findings from these endeavors and their public health implications.

Note:  The Research Review Panel does not take the place of an Institutional Review Board (IRB).  Research involving human subjects requires the review of the IRB.



Timeline and Procedures:

Generally, submissions to the Review Committee must be made at least two weeks prior to initiation of research.  Electronic submissions are preferred.  Please submit these to the email address to the right.


Submissions should include:

  1. Proposal application cover sheet complete with signatures
  2. Summary of proposed research
  3. Confidentiality agreement signed by the principal investigator
  4. Any research tools such as a questionnaire or data collection tool
  5. A copy of documents used to obtain informed consent
  6. If the principal investigator is not an employee of PHDMC, a copy of a curriculum vitae
  7. Copy of Request to Local Registrar if request involves Vital Statistic Information

National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW)

NIW April 21st-28th is National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW).

The goal of the Immunization Program is to increase awareness about immunizations across the life span, from infants to the elderly. NIIW is the perfect time to remind family, friends, co-workers, and those in the community to immunize their children, as well as catch up on their own vaccinations.

Public Health-Dayton & Montgomery County holds outreach clinics for children each month.
