Video Length: 53:20 | Date: 11-07-2025
(Phase I of III) Learn the key dates for Primary Investigator (PI) actionable items in preparation for the transition from IRBNet to UMD's new protocol submission platform, Kuali-IRB. Submitting initial IRB projects is imperative prior to December 20, 2025.
The University of Maryland's Institutional Review Board (IRB) is an ethical review committee that examines and approves the initial submission of research involving human participants. The IRB focuses on ensuring the protection of the rights and welfare of human participants in research. For more information, please contact the UMD Extension's IRB Liaison, Dacia Randolph, PhD at daciar@umd.edu
Check out the new learning module titled "Understanding the IRB Approval Process" now available in Canvas-ELMS. This learning module will serve as a standard operating procedure tool, highlighting aspects of the overall IRB approval process. The purpose of this learning module is to capture the majority of topics that Principal Investigators (PIs) and Co-Investigators (Co-Is) encounter when attempting to prepare for, complete, submit, and/or follow up with an IRB project submission. This resource is an ongoing learning tool, thus, content will be added/edited in real time.
The procedural instructions and information regarding the IRB can be found on UMD's IRB Division of Research website.
The learning module will focus on the following topics and procedures:
- Understanding the purpose for the protections of human subjects in research;
- CITI Certification;
- Steps to take in preparation for, during, and following IRB approval; and
- Accessing additional resources to assist with completing the IRB protocol.
