Please see below for the types of forms available for submission:

    • Human Subjects Research Determination: Form submitted when your project may not constitute human subjects research. This would be applicable when you are receiving a de-identified archival dataset, for example.

    • Initial Submission: Form for initial submissions for human subjects research, including studies that may be exempt from the federal regulations, studies that may be eligible for expedited review, and studies that require review by the convened IRB.

    • Modification: Form to request changes to your existing, approved protocol.

    • Continuing Review: Form for your annual renewal. Please submit at least 30 days prior to study expiration for studies eligible for expedited review and 45-60 days in advance for studies that require full board review.

    • Annual Report: This form is for use for studies that do not require continuing review. You must submit an annual report by the deadline provided in your initial approval letter.

    • Study Closure: Form when you are done with all aspects of the project, including data analysis (of identifiable data).

    • Reportable Events: Form to report situations including adverse events, non-compliance, data breaches, or any information regarding changes in the risks to subjects.

    • CITI Training Verification: Tracks CITI human subjects training.

    • Request for Reliance Agreement with another IRB: Form when another site’s IRB will serve as the IRB of record on a project.

    • Request for PAU to serve as IRB of Record: Form when PAU serves as the IRB of record rather than ceding review to another institution.

Please review the Guides to IRB Manager to all parts of the submission forms.

Protocols that require full board review must be submitted by 11:59PM on the first Thursday of the month in order to be reviewed at the next month's meeting. For example, protocols submitted by the deadline in September will be reviewed at the October meeting.

Late submissions that require full board review will be reviewed at the following month's meeting. For example, late submissions received after the deadline in September will be reviewed at the November meeting.

Expedited, exempt, and human subjects determination requests are reviewed on a rolling basis.
