IRB Review and Approval Forms
Form IRB-1: Protocol Application for the Involvement of Human Participants in Research: for Expedited or Full Board Review. Expedited and Full Board studies require the same level of review, so the same form is used for both types of review. For determining which level of review is necessary, see question 2. For expedited review, submit the original plus one copy. For full board review, submit the original plus 16 copies COLLATED (i.e., each copy of the IRB-1 has all relevant attachments paper clipped to it, such as one copy of the consent form, one copy of the recruitment flyer, and one copy of the survey).
Form IRB-5: Request for Exemption from Continuing IRB Review. The IRB makes exemption determinations. This category requires initial IRB review, but the study is then exempt from continuing review. For determining exemption eligibility, see question 2. Submit the original plus one copy, including all relevant attachments, such as the information sheet, recruitment flyer, and surveys or questionnaires.
Form IRB-7: Protocol Application for Research Methods Courses (RMC). Course Instructors must submit an application for IRB approval of the types of research projects to be conducted by students in the class. The IRB-7 protocol will receive expedited review. Submit the original plus one copy, including all relevant attachments, such as the information sheet, recruitment flyers, and surveys or questionnaires.
Form IRB-9: Protocol Application for Ethnographic/Naturalistic Research. Ethnographic/naturalistic research activities may require expedited or full board review. The same form is used for both types of review. For determining which level of review is necessary, see question 2. For expedited review, submit the original plus one copy. For full board review, submit the original plus 16 copies COLLATED (i.e., each copy of the IRB-1 has all relevant attachments paper clipped to it, such as one copy of the consent form, one copy of the recruitment flyer, and one copy of the survey).
