IRB PROTOCOL DUE DATES FOR  2012 - 2013 

NOTE:  All researchers/investigators who submit a research protocol to the IRB must complete the required IRB CITI Training course and provide documentation.  To learn more about this required course, please visit the CITI Course in the Protection of Human Research Subjects website through the IRB website at:    http://www2.moreheadstate.edu/irb/

CITI course completion certificate must be submitted with the protocol application.  Protocol applications submitted without the attached certification will not be reviewed.

 Any faculty, staff, or student proposing to involve human subjects in research is required to have a protocol reviewed and approved by the MSU Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research prior to conducting the research.  The IRB’s policies and forms are available online along with helpful advice about the review process.  To view the IRB handbook and forms, go to:    http://www2.moreheadstate.edu/irb/

In addition, researchers/investigators are strongly encouraged to discuss their protocol application with a member of the committee, which should facilitate timely protocol preparation and review.  If you would like to participate in the IRB Mentoring Program prior to protocol submission, please contact Dr. Samuel Faulkner, s.faulkner@moreheadstate.edu 

The IRB reviews three types of protocols:  Exempt, Expedited, and Convened Review protocols.  To submit a protocol that may qualify as Exempt, complete the Request for Exemption from Federal Regulations application form.  If the protocol may qualify as Expedited or Convened Review, complete the Application for Expedited or Convened Review.  For guidance on which type of protocol to submit, please consider participating in the IRB Mentoring Program or view the IRB website for more information.

IMPORTANT:

The IRB accepts Requests for Exemption at any time and reviews the protocols promptly upon receipt.  Protocols that qualify as Expedited can also be submitted at any time, and are reviewed promptly upon receipt
