Research Compliance Mercer Student IRB Forms

1. Minimal Risk Studies Involving Human Subjects - Research that is either exempt or expedited should be submitted to the committee using this form. This type of research would involve surveys, questionnaires, observation research, or data collection. Application

2. Request for Modification- Periodically, investigators make changes to their research that is different from the original protocol approved by the Committee. This form should be used for example: amendments, advertisements, consent form changes, new procedures, new survey tool, addition/deletion of an investigator, addition/deletion of site. Modification Application

3. Continuing Review Form - According to federal regulations research must be reviewed at least annually. Courtsey reminder letters are sent to investigators 60 or 30 days prior to the expiration date of the approval period. The "courtsey reminder" does not take the place of the investigator's responsibility to ensure that their research project remains in compliance. This form should be used for continuing renewals. Application

If a continuing review form is not submitted before the expiration of the approval, the study will be closed.

**All persons conducting research involving human subjects must have on file with the Office of Research Compliance a valid certificate of Human Subjects Training from CITI.
