Applications/Forms
On January 1, 2012, the IRB fully implemented Protis - Protocol Information System - for on line submission [and tracking] of applications. For an introduction to the system and user instructions click here: http://help.protis.usu.edu
Click here to determine what type of application you should should submit through Protis
The review process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks for the General Application and 2 to 3 weeks for the exempt application or oral history application. The Course Research Application and the Request for Determination of Non Human Subject Research Application will take less time.
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 uploaded a signed copy to your Protis application
