Once I have IRB Approval am I done with the IRB

For IRB Application directions/steps and all necessary forms/templates, please go to the Center for Graduate Studies Lounge

 Click Content -> find Institutional Review Board (IRB) Process.

If you cannot locate a form, please contact IRB@Aspen.edu

 

**Note that your IRB file will be closed upon graduation or 1 year from the date of this letter; whichever occurs first. Should your project/study not be completed within that time frame please contact the IRB.

There are other reasons you need to contact the IRB:

  • IRB Change Request Form – If you need to make a change to ANY aspect of your study or project (e.g., a change to a survey interment, informed consent form, where the study or project is taking place, or how participants are being recruited, etc.). The IRB must approve the change(s) before you proceed.
  • IRB Continuing Review Form – Your study or project will be approved for one year. If your study or project will exceed this timeframe, you must submit to the IRB and receive approval to continue.

  • IRB Events Reporting Form – When to use this form is described in detail in the next FAQ.
