What you will find at this site
- An explanation of what the SUNYIT IRB is and what it does.
- Easy-to-understand criteria to determine whether your study requires IRB review and the level of review required (i.e. expedited or convened/full review).
- An explanation of the IRB review and approval process, and what you, the researcher, can expect regarding when and how you will be informed of study review progress/approval/rejection.
Levels of Review
- Convened/Full: This is the typical route for a human subject research proposal. The IRB meets the second Tuesday of each month to review applications for research. Sponsors of proposals are encouraged to attend meetings to provide an overview of the project, and to deal with any ambiguities that might exist. Also, the committee can give the sponsor direct feedback on the proposal should there be a need to clarify or change any procedures. For consideration at the monthly meeting, please submit a completed SUNYIT Proposal for Research Involving Human Subjects (pdf) to the Office of the IRB (OIRB) prior to the first Tuesday of the month.
- Expedited: For some types of innocuous or benign activities, the Chair may elect to consult with a subset of the committee for review.
- Exempt: If you feel that your project should be exempt from IRB review, please read the following policy and submit the completed form to the OIRB SUNYIT Exemption Policy and Form (pdf).
Forms - Submit all completed forms and applications to the Office of the IRB (OIRB) at jonesh1@sunyit.edu
