How do I sign my IRB application?

IRB applications can be signed with a physical signature (sign with a pen and then scan the document for submission) or signed electronically.  To sign electronically, please use DocuSign or Adobe Digital ID.  There are multiple ways to “sign” in Adobe, but this is the only method the IRB accepts.

For directions on setting up your Adobe Digital ID signature, please go to https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/digital-ids.html.  Once your Digital ID is set up: in Adobe, go to the “Certificates” tool and select “Digitally Sign.”  DO NOT use the Fill and Sign tool.  Digital ID is available in the free version of Adobe.
