Submissions to the IRB
Submitting a human subjects study for review
Research projects involving the use of humans as subjects at Indiana University or its affiliated institutions must be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). Submitting your study, or protocol, for review by the IRB takes planning and preparation.
The links below will help you understand the process for submitting a new protocol, amending or renewing an existing protocol, closing a study, and reporting events that may occur during the conduct of your study. You can also find information regarding how to proceed if your project will be reviewed by an IRB outside IU.
