  • IRB ʦapp Institutional Review Board- The purpose of the IRB is primarily to minimize risk to human subjects. All ʦapp ʦapp and faculty who engage in research involving human subjects must obtain prior approval from the ʦapp IRB. The ʦapp IRB uses IRBNet, a web-based system to facilitate the process of reviewing human subjects research projects. Information on using IRBNet can be found by clicking here. IRBNet contains all of the forms, information and tutorials you will need to prepare your application for approval of your research. Please be aware that ʦapp cannot submit an application to the IRB as principal investigator (PI). Your faculty mentor will be the PI on the IRB application for your project. Your role will be doctoral student and co-investigator. A clear presentation of risks and benefits of your research will facilitate timely approval.
