The HS-IRBs office is mourning the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Carla Phillips

The HS-IRBs office is mourning the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Carla Phillips, who died July 7th. Carla has been an IRB staff reviewer since 2003 and was an invaluable part of the office.  Carla primarily supported the MR IRB and was an expert in several areas, including tissue banks, research databases, and exempt projects.  Carla was the “go-to” person for many study teams, in part because of her unique ability to smooth the way to IRB approval for even the most complicated studies.

Carla’s kindness, intelligence, and humor were deeply appreciated by her colleagues in the office. She was a generous and supportive colleague, always willing to help out when needed.  We very much enjoyed Carla’s wit and regularly relied on her wisdom and advice. We will always miss her presence in the office and will keep her close in our memories.

Carla’s family welcomes donations in her memory to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Agrace Hospice.

Note to Study Teams: Submissions that Carla was working on have been reassigned to other HS-IRBs staff. If you have questions about your submission, please check ARROW to see who is currently handling the submission and contact that person directly.
