What is IRBNet?
IRBNet is a web-based tool that helps researchers and the Office of Sponsored Projects and Research (OSPR) better manage protocol submission, modification and tracking processes for human subjects research. All research studies submitted for review by the IRB (including exempt proposals, expedited proposals, convened proposals and any modifications or renewals to already approved projects) must be submitted electronically through IRBNet.
All IRB project forms and templates are located in the IRBNet Library. As part of your IRB submission, you will also be required to upload a PDF copy of your CITI training certificate into IRBNet.听
