IMPORTANT: It is each researcher's responsibility to ensure that their SONA-related activities fall within the purview of their protocol as approved by the UC Merced IRB.
Once you have your IRB approval letter for the protocol, log into SONA with your researcher account information, as emailed to you by the SONA system. Click "Add New Studies" under the "Studies" drop-down menu at the top of your screen. You'll be led through the process of adding a new study. Simply fill out all of the information in accordance with the approved protocol, including the approval code and expiration date, and submit the form when you're done.
