What supporting documents must I include with my IRB submission?

The eIRB+ system will prompt you to upload documents throughout the submission form, including protocol(s), consent document(s), recruitment material(s), etc. You are required to submit all participant-facing materials to the IRB for review and approval before using them in your research. In addition, upload any other study-specific documents in the “Supporting Documents” section of the submission form. Examples of supporting documents include (but are not limited to):

  • Data collection instruments including diaries, surveys, questionnaires, or interview scripts
  • Childhood educational permission letters
