Institutional Review Board Forms

writingphdCompleted IRB forms and documents submitted for North Texas Regional Institutional Review Board review and approval must be accompanied with a signed memo from the Principal Investigator (PI) indicating their request. The memo should also include the protocol name and IRB number (if activity or request is post-approval). An IRB number will be generated for new protocols upon initial submission / review. Documents should be submitted in a timely manner for proper review and approval.

Your computer must have Microsoft Word and/or Adobe Acrobat to access and read the following forms, samples and templates. If you need to download Adobe Acrobat, please follow this link.

Important Note:

  • Please submit all documents in IRBNet by selecting “Create New Project” in the left-hand navigation bar.
  • Please note the following:
    • THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR MUST HAVE FULL ACCESS TO THE IRBNET PROTOCOL PACKAGE IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE REVIEWED BY THE IRB.
    • Please be sure to use a very descriptive file name for each document submitted as a pdf or word.doc file. Example: “MMSE scale” is much better than “Scale 1”. . . “Recruiting flyer” is better than “Ad 1”, and so forth.
    • Refer to the “Read Me First” document located in IRBNet under “Forms and Templates” for more guidance.
  • For Progress Reports/Continuing Reviews:
