A greener HARPO
In our effort to be "green", help our environment and to help with the timely review of your project, please be sure to review the submission requirements for sending in any IRB or IACUC protocols.
We ask that you electronically submit the protocol along with any accompanying documents to either irbsubmissions@umbc.edu (for human research applications) or iacucsubmissions@umbc.edu (for animal research applications).
Submission information and documents may be found at:
http://www.umbc.edu/research/Resources/irb_forms.htm (IRB)
http://www.umbc.edu/research/Resources/iacuc_forms.htm (IACUC)
Please be sure to include the applicable pages with the signature of the investigators. We prefer this page be submitted electronically (a scanned version as a PDF document will do). If that's not possible, fax that page (and that page only) to the Human and Animal Protections Research Office at (410) 455-3868. Protocol applications will not be processed until this face page is received.

IRB Protocol audits (this is not the IRS)
Many faculty and students have received notices over the past several weeks regarding the post approval protocol monitoring (PAPM), or as it may be better known as a "protocol audit".
Because an investigator is chosen for an "audit" or PAPM, it doesn't mean he/she has done anything wrong. UMBC required by federal regulation to exercise "appropriate oversight mechanisms" to make sure the policies and procedures designed for protecting the rights and welfare of human participants are being followed and that participant's well being is safeguarded.
So, in addition to complying with procedures, the PAPM is used to educate researchers about human subject protection issues and improve the quality of research by finding potential errors or omissions as research is performed.
It's good for the researcher and good for the university.
If you get the email or phone call about a PAPM, don't fret; it's all done to make your research experience easier and hopefully less complicated.
