Temporary fax number for ORPC

The suite where ORPC is located will be going under renovations beginning next week which will affect our ability to accept faxed documents. Renovations that affect the ORPC should be complete by March 18, 2011.

We will still accept and review information electronically via our email submission addresses (irbsubmissions@umbc.edu and iacucsubmissions@umbc.edu) and will process applications and answer questions related to protocols.

We have a temporary fax number that investigators may use in the meantime. Please use 410-455-8750 to send signed application pages.

Thank you for your patience.
