What paperwork do I need to submit for IRB review?
  • New Project Request Form (PDF)
  • Copy of a previous IRB approval letter for the same project, if applicable
  • A copy of the consent form. If the consent form has changed from a previous study administration, please track changes so that the committee can easily see any updates.
    • Please note that under the revised 2018 Common Rule, part of 45 CFR 46, the requirements for informed consent have changed. The intent of these changes is to facilitate the subjects' understanding of the proposed research and ensure that they understand how their data and biospecimens may be used.
  • A copy of the protocol. If the protocol has changed from a previous study administration, please track changes so the committee can easily see any updates. The protocol should outline how the survey will be administered (paper, online, etc), who will be taking the survey, data security procedures including where the completed surveys will be kept until data entry is completed and how long all surveys will be kept before they are destroyed.
  • A copy of the survey questions. If the survey instrument has changed from a previous administration, please track changes so the committee can easily see updates.
  • Human subjects research certification for the principal investigator and any co-principal investigators.
  • Resume or CV for the principal investigator and any co-principal investigators. Resumes should contain sufficient detail so that the committee is assured that researchers are qualified to conduct the requested research.
