Student Researchers

Beginning July 1, researchers must submit all new studies via the SU OneAegis system using your SU credentials.

(If you have a currently open expedited or full-board protocol, you should continue to use traditional post-approval forms for Modification Requests, Continuing Review, etc.)

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. Please email irb@seattleu.edu with any questions or if you need support.

Undergraduate and Graduate Student Researchers

All SU faculty, staff and students must obtain written IRB verification before beginning any aspect of a study (including recruitment) involving collecting information from or about living individuals (unless publicly available). The IRB cannot provide a retroactive determination under any circumstances, even if the project would otherwise meet exemption or Not Human Participant Research criteria.

Students might engage in human participant research activities in different ways:

• As part of a course, students might conduct minimal-risk human participant research overseen by a faculty member, who coordinates with the IRB on behalf of all students. (Faculty may consult this guidance page.)
• An SU student might serve as Primary/Principal Investigator (PI) on a research project involving human participants (such as an Honors, Capstone, or dissertation project). In these cases, the student should submit a protocol application directly to the IRB after consulting and working closely with an SU faculty or staff adviser. (Faculty/staff advisers of student researchers should consult this guidance page.)

• • Before beginning a protocol application, carefully read the IRB Step-by-Step Guide. Depending on your project, information about review categories, as well as application tips, may be helpful.

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.

Guidance for Doctor of Nursing Practice Students and Faculty Advisers

Carefully review the IRB/DNP decision tree to determine required steps.  If your project will need further IRB consideration, complete the IRB DNP project form.

To avoid delays, review all IRB guidance carefully. Upon submission, your application will then go to your faculty mentor to assess completeness and accuracy before being routed to the IRB Office for consideration. The IRB e-system will not accept incomplete submissions or those missing required forms.
