Submitting IRB Applications Electronically

The following detailed instructions must be followed to have your IRB application accepted electronically. 

1. Your entire IRB application package (including the application, consent document, copy of the survey, questionnaire or interview questions, any recruitment materials, etc.) should be put into a single PDF file. Do not e-mail multiple files (attachments).
2. You should name your file (using your name) lastname_firstname.pdf
3. E-mail your single PDF file to irb@truman.edu before the deadline of the review date you would like your application to be reviewed (the deadlines are typically Friday’s at 5pm). E-mailed files must be received prior to the deadline to be reviewed at the next meeting. Any files received after the deadline will be held for the next meeting.
4. You should receive a confirmation e-mail, stating that your application package was received and the date it will be reviewed within 24 hours (Monday – Friday). If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail, please contact the IRB Office (irb@truman.edu or 660.785.7245) to inquire.
5. If you have any questions about your application, the process, or need assistance, please contact Kris McKim, IRB Administrator, at kmckim@truman.edu or 660.785.7245.
