Institutional Review Board (IRB) Intake Form |
Introduction and Overview of Process
Overview of IRB Review Process
The Madison College IRB consists of eight cross-functional members from the College and one external member. The IRB must review all projects that meet the definition of research and that involve human subjects prior to any data collection at the College involving College faculty/staff/students.
This form will gather information about your study and will be used to determine the extent of review needed, as defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The extent of review (Exempt, Expedited, or Full Review) is defined by the potential risk to participants, inclusion or vulnerable populations, or type of research conducted. While this form will identify the type of review for your study, the IRB will make all final determinations.
A substantial amount of information about your project (e.g., participants, survey/interview questions, timelines, data security) is required for this submission process. If you are not sure you have the level of detail needed for review, contact irb@madisoncollege.edu for help preparing your submission.
See the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website for more information about IRB approval requirements.
Process Expectation:
- Fully documented Exempt application: 1 week turnaround.
- Fully documented Expedited application: 3 weeks.
