Revisions for Institutional Review Board approval

All research applications must be submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) through IRBNet, an externally hosted software product. All IRB forms must be obtained from the IRBNet Forms and Templates library.

Conditions with approval must be submitted to the IRB to finalize approval for projects. This means a project with the status of Deferred–Modifications Required or Deferred–Information Required. The IRB must review and approve the modifications prior to conducting the research activities.
