Submission Procedures Have Changed

The IRB is adopting an electronic submission of protocols process, which will speed up the process. To submit a protocol, please do the following:

1. Download and fill out the IRB Standard Form.
2. Sign the form, using an electronic signature.
3. Save the form on your computer/account then send it to the next person who needs to sign.
4. When the required signatures have been obtained, e-mail the protocol form and all the attachments (consent form, survey, etc) to barnetb@uwplatt.edu.
5. You will receive an acknowledgement within the next business day.

If you are unable to obtain electronic signatures, the form may be printed, signed, scanned and then sent to barnetb@uwplatt.edu.

If you have any questions, please contact Barb Barnet, IRB Chair, barnetb@uwplatt.edu, x1942.
