Proposal Submissions

There are two ways to submit an IRB Proposal, electronically or as a scanned copy.

IRB Proposal Electronic Submission

Complete the IRB proposal electronically and submit all required documentation to begin the IRB review process. Once submitted, please allow at least ten (10) business days for review and/or approval. 

All materials, equipment, etc., must be identified and necessary copies submitted before the IRB research proposal may be submitted. Make sure that your electronic materials are prepared to be uploaded before beginning the form.

Protocol Changes

Should you have changes to your protocol, consent forms or any supportive materials (such as advertisements, questionnaires, surveys, etc.) after approval has been given on your initial proposal, complete the Protocol Change Form, secure the appropriate signature(s) and submit along with revised research documents.

Be sure to highlight all changes for IRB review.
