How do I obtain IRB approval for a human subject study?
Use the new project application in eResearch for both standard applications and exemption requests. When the IRB meets to review applications, its questions and decisions are recorded in eResearch and study teams are notified via e-mail. Investigators should allow 8-10 weeks for review of standard applications and 4 weeks for review of exemption requests.

Once approved, don’t deviate from IRB-approved versions advertisements, informed consent, or protocols – submit any changes made (for example, to the protocol or consent) as an amendment or adverse events, and obtain IRB approval prior to initiating changes.
