Application for IRB Review
|
|
Please
note that the IRB has changed the Application for Approval forms
used for the protocol review process. Please bear with us while we work
to
streamline
the IRB
process.
Our goal is to reduce the workload of our researchers while maintaining
the protection of those who give their time as human participants. Please
call the IRB Coordinator if you have any questions about the new forms. |
Before
You Apply
The principal
investigator must be familiar with the Murray State University Procedures
and Guidelines for obtaining institutional approval for research activities
involving humans. BEFORE you
begin the application process, you MUST read the IRB Procedures and Guidelines and you MUST complete the required training in the protection of human
participants in research. Principal
investigator(s), faculty sponsor(s) and any other MSU personnel who will
assist with the data collection must submit proof of
training in the use of human participants in research before the irb will
review any protocol.
The IRB cannot, and will not, review
protocols for projects that are already in progress or have been completed.
Completing
the Application
After reading the Procedures and Guidelines and completing the
required protections training, the principal investigator should complete
the
Application for Approval. Read each
section of the form carefully and provide all required information. Incomplete

investigator. If the principal investigator is a student, the application
must be approved by the student's faculty sponsor. Additional guidance for
