Site Permission Approval

Many studies/projects occur in collaboration with another site, institution, or organization (e.g., a clinic, school, or company) and you will need to submit permission from this site with your IRB application (see Appendix C or examples and use the template in the lounge as a starting point).

Note: DNP candidates,

this is not the same thing as an immersion site agreement.

If the entity where you are conducting your study or implementing your project has their own IRB, typically you will seek their approval prior to submitting to the IRB at Aspen. If you are in the EdD or DSCS program work with your chair to determine required approvals. If you are in the DNP program it is your responsibility to determine if there is IRB oversight at your project site. Note: If the organization requires a conditional approval from Aspen prior to reviewing your application, reach out to IRB@Aspen.edu for guidance (always cc you chair).
