IRB Tools and Forms

IRB Tools

These tools are designed to assist you in submitting the appropriate IRB forms.

• IRB Decision Tree - Does my project require review and approval by the IRB? Which form should I use?
• IRB Exemption Screening Questions - Does my research qualify for exemption?

IRB Forms

All IRB application forms are in pdf format and include the investigator certification requirement. There are separate forms for Annual Continuations and Requests for Changes to an Approved Protocol. 

Effective 1/1/2022, any change to an already approved protocol, regardless of the protocol being exempt, expedited or full board review, requires the submission and IRB approval of the Request for Change in Approved Protocol form. 

TIP: Download and save the form to your device. Open as a fresh document in Adobe for best results.
