Institutional Review Board
Research Compliance Personnel Change
The Office of Research Compliance is undergoing a personnel change as Melanie Morris, Coordinator of Research Compliance, has left Ball State University for the private industry. FULL STORY
We have moved to electronic submission of IRB protocols.

Studies for full review must be submitted electronically through IRBNet as of NOVEMBER 2, 2007. New protocols, revisions, continuations, modifications, final reports, etc. will not be accepted on paper or by e-mail as of this date for full review.

Studies for exempt or expedited review must be submitted electronically through IRBNet as of NOVEMBER 20, 2007. New protocols, revisions, continuations, modifications, final reports, etc. will not be accepted on paper or by e-mail as of this date for exempt or expedited review.

IRBNet Training materials are available at: http://www.bsu.edu/research/secure/training (please note: you will need to use your Ball State username and password to access this page).  Create a username and password (see Instructions for IRBNet Use or registration help documents on the training page). Explore the system, using the training energizer for researchers as a guide.

DO NOT REQUEST A DEMO VIA IRBNet; this is not a training application and does not pertain to your proposal!
