IRB Review Process Efficiencies

To improve IRB review efficiencies, IRB protocols will only be accepted in electronic format beginning January 1, 2012. Protocols should be emailed in the PDF format downloaded from the IRB forms website http://research.tamucc.edu/compliance/irb/irbForms.html to the Research Compliance Officer, Erin Sherman, at Erin.sherman@tamucc.edu. Initial protocol submissions may be emailed with digital signatures. Original signatures will be needed after any necessary revisions and before final approval is granted. The Research Compliance Officer will contact the principal investigator on the protocol for final signatures when needed. Signature pages may then be scanned and emailed to Erin Sherman at Erin.sherman@tamucc.edu. Please contact Erin Sherman with any questions.
