Study Protocols
Review the slides below to help guide you through drafting a study protocol.
See the first document below as an example of a study protocol. The second document is a template that you may download and use.
IRB Submissions
Once you have drafted both your ICF and study protocol, you will be ready to begin your IRB submission on the myIRB portal. The links below may be helpful in preparing you for this process.
Follow this link to be directed to the IRB Sandbox, which is a practice environment (similar to the Epic Playground) where you can create dummy IRB submissions for practice.
Follow this link to be directed to myIRB, the online portal in which you draft and submit IRB studies.
Follow this link to be directed to IRB training requirements for all students, faculty, and staff involved in IRB projects.
Follow this link to be directed to a list of alphabetized IRB-01 forms, some of which will be needed for your annual continuing review submission and general study monitoring (e.g., protocol deviations, adverse events, etc.).
Review the slides below which are shown as part of an "IRB Boot Camp" presentation. This presentation is appropriate for those with little or no IRB experience.
