Before starting a research project, you must complete and submit the following documents for IRB approval:
Proposals describe the research plan, explain the provisions to protect participants, and outline what steps will be taken to comply with federally-mandated legal and ethical guidelines. Each question in the protocol should be answered using non-technical language so that IRB members will have ample information to understand the proposed research project.
Submit the completed Proposal Cover Sheet & Form, along with certificate(s) of completion of Human Subjects training to irb@davenport.edu.
