Electronic Transmission of IRB Submissions
Beginning Monday, April 11th, all new protocol submissions, modifications, adverse events, violations and continuation reviews may be submitted electronically. This is an initial step in the shift from paper to electronic submission as the web-based E-IRB program is being developed.
To submit electronically, all IRB forms and study documents should be submitted as one PDF that is readable, searchable, and contains standardized bookmarks. Step-by-step instructions on how to prepare your submission will be posted on the web page that corresponds to the type of application you plan to submit (e.g., for a medical protocol eligible for expedited review, go to the Medical Expedited Review Application webpage). Instructions will also be available on the main human research forms website. Email completed PDF submissions to irbsubmission@uky.edu. You will receive an automated notification of receipt by email. Please contact Heather Gozzard at Heather.Gozzard@uky.edu or Michelle Hill at Michelle.Hill@uky.edu with any questions.
