Student Supplement Submissions (10/05) A supplemental project is a small scale project that is based off an IRB approved faculty research project. The procedures have changed for students who wish conduct supplemental projects. All student supplemental submissions will no longer be processed on a Form B-1 application for IRB approval. Students must now submit supplemental projects as a normal project on a Form A application. This will improve ORI's ability to track (and close) the projects as students graduate and leave the university. In addition, Form A provides more information regarding the project than Form B-1 did. This will help IRB members to more accurately evaluate the application.

Projects that previously received an Expedited or Full Board Review must receive annual renewal prior to the project's expiration date. The IRB is unable to provide any type of grace period beyond the one year approval term. The IRB is also unable to re-activate any projects that expired without renewal. Projects that are not re-approved prior to the expiration date will be permanently closed. Investigators are responsible for ensuring that their projects are submitted to their IRB representative for review and approval prior to the expiration date. If the approval has expired, but the project is not complete, then the PI will need to submit the project to an IRB Representative on a brand new application (Form A), so it can be reviewed and assigned a new IRB approval number. The project must be resubmitted as a brand new submission based on the remaining phase(s) in the project. For example, if the remaining phase of an interview study only included data analysis, then the PI would submit the project on Form A to an IRB Representative as a data analysis study only. It would not be submitted as an interview study, since that portion of the project was already closed out and completed.
Projects that previously received an Exempt Review do not need to submit annual renewal, since the project does not have an expiration date. However, investigators are still required to submit any changes or adverse events that occur during the life of the project. Also, investigators are required to submit a Project Completion Report to the IRB Office when the project has been finished.
