Research Review Committee

The Research Review Committee (RRC) is the Department of Psychiatry’s internal grant review committee and helps to ensure that research proposals prepared by investigators affiliated with our Department meet the highest scientific and ethical standards.

To view the policy and learn more about this requirement, please visit the Research Review Committee page on the following intranet sites:

  • Psy Hub (Faculty only; accessible only on the UPMC network)
  • Postdoc Portal (Postdocs only; accessible only on the Pitt network)

RRC Timeline

The RRC requests that investigators submit proposals for review as early as possible and that they work proactively with us throughout the process, especially when questions or special circumstances arise. 

To learn more about the role of the RRC, you can read the committee’s paper in Academic Psychiatry and/or contact one of the RRC Co-Chairs below.
