Applying for IRB Review

Whether you are a seasoned or novice investigator interested in conducting research at CVMC, the resources needed for developing your proposal for IRB review can be found here. Protecting Human Research Participants (PHRP) training is required for the primary investigator, co-investigator(s), and key study personnel prior to submitting an IRB application. If requesting review of a FDA-approved clinical trial, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training is required. The Roche TransCelerate-approved GCP course is online and free of charge.
