Before you begin research with human subjects you must have written approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB).  Writing your first protocol can be a daunting task. We have prepared resources and guides for you to use, but we are your primary resources.  We are happy to meet with you to talk about your protocol and you should feel free to call us if you are not sure how to fill out the required form or if you have any questions about what you need to submit to the IRB.
