IRBNet
IRBNet is a web-based tool that helps researchers and the Office of Sponsored Projects and Research Administration better manage protocol submission, modification and tracking processes. All research studies submitted for review by the IRB (including exempt proposals, expedited proposals, convened proposals and any modifications or renewals to already approved projects) must be submitted electronically through IRBNet.
All forms and templates are located in the IRBNet Library. As part of your IRB submission, you will also be required to upload a .pdf of your CITI training certificate into IRBNet.
