Applying for IRB Review and Approval
To better serve University of Minnesota researchers and Institutional Review Board (IRB) reviewers all human subject applications and
several supporting documents have been revised. The revised forms will provide the IRB committee with more precise information for review.
The revisions affect all human subject applications: Health and Biological, Social and Behavioral and Exempt applications. Samples of
revisions include Potential Biohazards, Inclusion/Exclusion of Children in research and changes to several appendices.
Use these application forms to apply for IRB approval to conduct research with human subjects that involves minimal or greater than minimal risk to human subjects or participants. (More about minimal risk.)
HRPP documents are protected since checkboxes and dropdown menus are utilized. If you are trying to use certain Microsoft Word features such as spell check, the document must be unprotected.

Affiliated Research Registration Form -- In Development
An agreement allow the University of Minnesota Institutional Review Board to formally delegate research review responsibilities to the respective IRB for projects where:
- University faculty or staff hold joint appointments
- All research subjects are recruited and seen at that facility
- Funding arrangements are not managed through University of Minnesota Sponsored Projects Administration.
This form registers activities on projects where the review was conducted through the researcher's respective IRB, eliminating the duplicity of a review conducted by both review boards.
