      The IRB proposal forms in PDF are for your information and proposal drafting purposes only. Prepare a complete draft proposal and present it to your thesis advisor. Your thesis advisor will let you know whether the proposal is ready for submission to the IRB. At that point, submit your proposal electronically online, using the IRB's proposal submission portal. Participant recruitment and data collection must not begin until after the IRB has confirmed in writing the approval of your proposal. 
    • The IRB accepts electronic proposal submissions only (use the online submission portal).
