• To apply for approval, access the online application form.
• The application review process will take less than two months.
• Applications are accepted between August 15 ~ May 1.

Research activity should not begin until the proposal is approved by the student’s committee and the Department and must be accompanied by IRB approval. If you are a student, you must also have your program program committee’s approval prior to beginning any research activity.
