IRB Information for Psychology Researchers

Submit Protocols Directly to the DePaul IRB

Effective September 2016, all researchers should submit protocols directly to the DePaul IRB. Individual faculty (sponsors, advisors or research collaborators) are responsible for reviewing all student proposals before IRB submission.

For more information: https://offices.depaul.edu/research-services/research-protections/irb/Pages/default.aspx

Note that protocols which include use of the Psychology Department Subject Pool will need to carefully follow the instructions in the Researcher section of http://go.depaul.edu/intropsych, paying particular attention to the section labeled "UPDATING CREDIT AND NO-SHOW RECORDS".  Failure to do so will significantly delay your application.​

All questions about IRB protocol submissions should be directed to the IRB and the IRB web site, but the resources here on the Psychology Department website may be useful for psychology researchers.
