How to Submit Applications to the IRB

In November 2021, UWF moved its IRB Application system online and uses the website IRBNet.org to process all applications. Please note all IRB forms and samples can be found under Forms & Templates within IRBNet. For a preview of the required proposal form visit IRB Project Proposal Information.

Is your CITI training still valid? If not, log into citiprogram.org, take the training, and update your IRBNet profile with the new training certificate.

Go to “Creating a new Project” to follow the steps to create a project and submit a package.
- Submitted packages that are incomplete or unclear may incur delays in processing.
If you received a “Modifications Required” letter with your board decision and you need to submit a revision to your reviewed IRB application, then go to How to Respond to a "Modifications Required" Letter

Once your project has been approved

If you need to make a change to your approved project, you will need to submit an amendment package. Go to “Creating and Submitting an Amendment” for instructions to create an amendment package.
If you need an extension to your currently approved IRB application approval dates, then go to “Creating and Submitting an Extension” for instructions on how to submit a continuing review package.
Once your data collection is complete and you are no longer analyzing identifiable data, you will need to submit a final report package. Please visit “Creating and Submitting a Final Report.”
