Applications/Forms

NEW -- Exempt Application

The review process will begin once all supporting documentation is emailed to the IRB Office at janet.roberts@usu.edu.  The review process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks (2 to 3 weeks for the exempt application).  To avoid cancellation of your application, the IRB Office must receive all supporting documentation with the submission of the application.  For a list of supporting documents, please refer to the specific application (Exempt Application or General Application)

It is expected that all researchers (including student research assistants) complete the required CITI training prior to the submission of an IRB application click here for CITI training.  To check your current IRB certification click here.

It is also expected that once an approval is obtained researchers will implement the project immediately.  If there is a delay in research of one month or more, please notify the IRB asap.

NOTE:  If an informed consent or letter of information is a necessary component of your project, be advised that final IRB approval cannot be given and research cannot begin until you have returned a copy of the signed original (on your dept. letterhead) to our office (UMC 9530)
