Compliance document processing and campus closing

As UMBC is closed for the inclement weather, we in HARPO know that investigators will want their protocols review and approval documents processed as soon as possible. We can access documents sent to irbsubmissions@umbc.edu and iacucsubmissions@umbc.edu and will perform the initial reviews of the protocols as they come in. Please allow a little patience with our reviewers as they may have limited access to documents and may not be able to complete their reviews in a timely fashion.

We will process all protocols as soon as we can in order to provide the approval to continue your research. Please contact us at HARPO@umbc.edu if you have any questions.

The Human and Animal Research Protections Office will be closed during UMBC’s winter break, from Friday, December 24, 2009 through Friday, January 1, 2010, and will reopen on January 4, 2010.

Please call the Office telephone number at 410-455-2737 if you have any research compliance questions and follow the instructions on the recorded message.
