Updated IRB forms and applications
Please use the most up to date forms and applications when submitting for IRB review and approval. Using older forms may delay the processing of your application (and causing minor headaches for the Office for Research Protections and Compliance staff!).

Applying for IRB review
Unsure which review category to apply to apply for? Confused whether or not you really need IRB review?
Click on the below two sources to use from the IRB website:
Does my project require IRB review? Examples of research that generally does not require IRB review.
How do you identify human subejct research? Use this handy list to determine if IRB review is required.
Remember, the IRB has the final say in what research must be reviewed.

Do surveys created for improving services and programs at UMBC need IRB review?
A question that comes up not only at UMBC, but at other institutions as well. And, is IRB review required? It depends.
Surveys that are for quality improvement/quality assurance or for developing new services or programs for students, employees, or alumni, may not need IRB review. Surveyors should keep in mind that privacy of the participants needs to be protected, the confidentiality of individual responses is maintained, and survey participation is voluntary.
If, at a future date, an opportunity will arise to contribute previously collected survey data to a new project producing generalizable knowledge, an application for IRB review would be required before the data could be released to the new project.
The IRB has developed a QI/QA algorithm to help sort this out.
