What has changed:
  • The IRB will only review projects that meet the definition of research.
  • Principal Investigators (PIs) on IRB Applications must be WSU faculty or staff.
  • Modified forms for both Exempt and Non Exempt applications.
  • Modified process for the evaluation of Exempt research applications.
  • Initiation of Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) for web-based human subjects training.

The modified forms and procedures are designed to make the submission and review of IRB Applications easier and more efficient.
