Applications are submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) to the Institutional Review Board through the submission form found in the application forms sectin under Human Subjects. 

Once you have completed the appropriate application,  combine the application as well as materials including surveys, consent, letters of permission and recruitment wording into one PDF document.  Then complete the information sheet under IRB Submission Form, attach the application and supporting documents, then submit. The application will be routed to the faculty advisor listed on the application. Once the advisor has approved, it will be routed to the IRB for the review. Reviewers' decisions generally take between two to four weeks.

Minor amendments are typically handled through a written request sent to the IRB by completing the Amendment form on the website. If there are no changes for a renewal, resubmission of old forms are needed in order to evaluate these against current regulations and policies. If amending and renewing, an amendment first and renewal second are suggested.  If you have questions concerning this process, please email researchreview@ucmo.edu.

OSPRI covers the cost for all faculty, staff, and students to complete as many CITI modules as are available. Researchers must complete the CITI Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training.

There are several RCR trainings that are discipline specific to choose from.  If the research is funded through a grant or contract, Principal Investigators must complete the RCR Administrator training and the Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) training modules. Each module’s certification is good for up to three years.

Additional information on how to register with CITI is available in the Forms & Resources page.  Please note, different modules are required for IACUC (animal research), and those are noted in the IACUC section of Forms & Resources.
