How to Submit an Application:
Please review the “Type of IRB Review Flow Chart” to determine which type of application Form (Exempt, Expedited, or Full) you will need to submit. You can also read the types of applications descriptions to see what type of review your proposed study will require.
Next, review the Sample Application to gather all information you will need to have for submission of the electronic DocuSign Application.
To submit one of these forms to the SSU IRB, please complete the correct application form. All of the questions on the Application Form must be answered and all appropriate attachments included (these attachments are listed on the first page of the Application Form instructions). Please follow the instructions for how to submit the application.
