Institutional Review Board
Welcome to the Home Page of the WCSU Institutional Review Board (IRB). This page provides all the materials and links necessary to submit your research for review concerning human subjects safety.
The WCSU IRB no longer requires hard copies of IRB materials. A completed HUM-1 form must accompany all submitted proposals. Digital images of signatures are acceptable on the HUM-1 if you use the Adobe format. If you are unable to provide such a signature(s), you can scan the manually signed signature page and include it with your completed application.
The IRB requires all completed proposals be submitted via email to the address: IRB@wcsu.edu. IRB forms and the link to the required on-line training programs for protection of human subjects can be found on the website http://www.wcsu.edu/irb/. IRB questions may be directed to the Chair of the WCSU IRB, Dr. Jessica Eckstein; email: irb@wcsu.edu.
All proposals are due in full by the first of the month for consideration at the next IRB meeting. Any proposal submitted after the first of the month, will not be considered until the following month’s meeting.
