Beginning July 1, the IRB will use the OneAegis online submission system for all new IRB submissions. After June 30, we will no longer accept emailed submissions. For all new applications, log into SU OneAegis with your SU credentials and click "Start new Xform." Email irb@seattleu.edu with any questions. (If you have a currently open protocol not determined as Exempt or NHSR, you will continue to use the traditional Modification Request, Continuing Review forms.)

We hope to offer a streamlined, intuitive experience that balances the needs of our campus researchers with those of the administrative needs of the office and reviewers. We welcome your feedback to improve this online experience.

• Process for Ceding Oversight to Another Institutional IRB

Before creating your consent documents, read the guidance section on the Informed Consent process.

To ensure all required informed consent elements are present, we strongly encourage researchers to use these sample templates. However, you may edit the templates or submit an alternate consent form to meet the needs of your particular research study.

• IRB Informed Consent Sample Template
• IRB Minor Assent Sample Template
• IRB Parental/Guardian Permission Sample Template
• Online or MTurk Survey Consent Sample Template
• Student Informed Consent (for faculty researchers' pedagogical studies in the classroom)

When you have an individual other than the researcher involved in data collection, you need to ensure they know their responsibilities to keep all participants' responses confidential. You should include a version of these templates with your protocol submission and then obtain a signed copy from the translator/interpreter for your protocol files.

• Translator/Interpreter Sample Confidentiality Agreement Template
• Transcriptionist Sample Confidentiality Agreement

Beginning July 1, these appendices will be merged within the e-submission system and will no longer be required as separate documentation. Email irb@seattleu.edu with any questions.

Certain methodologies, populations, or settings require greater consideration with regard to mitigating risk. These appendices solicit more specific information, which enables IRB reviewers to better assess risk to participants and offer recommendations for mitigation.

• Appendix A.Oral Consent or Alteration of Consent Request
• Appendix B.Research with Minors Request
• Appendix C.Research with Prisoners Request Form
• Appendix D.Research with Pregnant Women.Neonates Request
• Appendix E.Research Involving Adults with Decisional Impairments
• Appendix F.Use of Deception Request

Beginning July 1, the IRB will use the OneAegis online submission system for all new IRB submissions only.  If you have an open expedited or full-board protocol (not one determined as Exempt or NHSR), you will continue to use the forms below and submit to irb@seattleu.edu 

[For expedited/full-board studies submitted via OneAegis after July 1, you will use the e-system for any further post-approval actions.]
