Workflow Process
STEP 1 PI Receives Training Online Retains
Certificate Principal investigators and student
investigators are required to undergo online
training and obtain certification in conducting
research involving human subjects. STEP 2 PI
Submits Proposal PI will login into the eIRB
System and submit proposal (e.g. includes online
application and supporting materials). Once the
chair assigns the proposal to IRB reviewers, the
PI will receive an e-mail notification that the
proposal is in review. STEP 3 IRB Evaluates
Proposal and Responds to PI IRB reviewers will
read your proposal and provide feedback within
the system. The PI will receive an e-mail
notification if revisions are required.

Workflow Process
STEP 4 PI Reviews Feedback and Addresses
Concerns (if any) The PI will login into the eIRB
System and respond to feedback by updating
supporting materials or the application. The IRB
reviewers will receive e-mail notifications when
the proposal has been updated. Once the PI has
addressed all of the concerns, IRB reviewers will
recommend the proposal for approval. STEP 5 IRB
Approves Proposal and PI Begins Research The IRB
Chair approves the proposal and sets the
expiration date for the protocol. The PI will
receive an e-mail notification that the proposal
is approved. Approval is granted on the condition
that any deviation from the protocol will be
submitted for separate approval in the eIRB
System. STEP 6 PI Submits Annual Report and
Renews Proposal to Continue Research Approval is
valid until the expiration date of your protocol.
You are required to apply for a renewal at least
45 days before the expiration date for as long as
the study is active.
