University of Massachusetts Amherst Institutional Review Board Instructions for Submission of New Research Proposals to the IRB for Review
Faculty, staff and students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst proposing research that involves intervention or interaction with individuals, or involves obtaining information about individuals, must seek human subjects approval. All funded research is approved through the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Research projects that are not funded may seek approval through the local review board. Please refer to the listing of Local Review Boards to determine if there is one within your discipline. Those disciplines without a local review board may submit their application materials to the IRB. Students please note that application materials submitted to the IRB must be submitted by your faculty sponsor or staff sponsor who will act as the Principal Investigator (PI). PI's will be responsible for the oversight of the project and will be required, along with all key personnel, to complete the on-line training. NOTE: The Human Research Protection Office (HRPO) has converted to a new on-line human subject approval system called e-Protocol. As of February 1, 2009, all requests for human subject approval must be submitted through this web-based system. Note that paper submission for new studies will no longer be accepted after February 1, 2009. Continuations and modifications of protocols approved on the old paper-based system will continue to be submitted in paper-based format until the project is closed out. In order to access e-Protocol, you will need to contact the HRPO and provide the following information: Name, Department, Title (graduate student, postdoc, associate professor, etc), e-mail and NETID. (Note your NETID is the login that you would use when checking your e-mail through UMAIL). Please note: The CITI human subjects on-line training must be complete before a login can be provided for eprotocol. Human subject review done by local boards will not be submitted through e-Protocol at this time. Consent Forms will need to be attached in eProtocol. See below for consent form templates: Please contact Nancy Swett, ncswett@ora.umass.edu, (413) 545-3428, for more information and for login and password access. Nancy Swett If you have any questions, please call Margaret Burggren at 413-545-3428 or email humansubjects@ora.umass.edu.
