How do I make a change to my approved IRB protocol?

To submit a change to your approved IRB protocol:

• Submit an amendment form explaining the changes being made
  • The “Amendment #” on the form is referring to number of amendments you have submitted (ie. if this is your first amendment, the Amendment #is 1)
• Submit an updated application with the changes underlined
• Submit any other documents that require updating due to the changes being made (informed consent(s), recruitment materials, etc.). 
• For personnel additions, please include a copy of their “Human Subjects-Social & Behavioral Research – Basic/Refresher” training certificate.
• All revised documents should have any changes from the currently approved versions underlined- previously approved changes should NOT be underlined.
