Institutional Biosafety at Ball State University

We are moving to electronic submission of biosafety proposals...

Studies for full or expedited review must be submitted electronically through IRBNet as of JUNE 10, 2008.

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!
