IRB

Hospital and Federal policies require review of each protocol by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) with respect to: 1) the rights and welfare of subjects; 2) the adequacy of methods used to secure informed consent; and 3) the risk and potential benefits of research to the subject.  

All CNE IRB submissions are processed through IRBNet, a secure, web-based platform that can be accessed from virtually any computer using a web browser by visiting www.irbnet.org. All users must self-register for an account in IRBNet and affiliate with the IRB (can be multiple) they will be submitting to.

FAQs

What trainings do I need to complete to comply with IRB/regulatory requirements?
Up-to-date training requirements for PIs, co-investigators, and research staff can be found on IRBNet.
I have an IRB question (new application, continuing review, IAA, adverse event, etc) and don’t want to immediately email my IRB administrator, where should I look?

Most questions can be answered in the “Read me First” documents. They are the most up-to-date source of IRB information.
