Submitting to the IRB: New and Active IRB Studies

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) will now utilize the online submission platform, Research Enterprise Solutions (RES), for NEW human subjects research applications. New IRB studies will no longer be accepted via email.

NOTE: If you have an approved active IRB study, you will continue to submit modifications, continuing reviews and closure requests via email to: IRB@uml.edu using the Human Research Protection (HRP) forms below.

Submitting a New IRB Study

To access RES visit the RES IRB module and click on the Protocols tab.
