Welcome

NEW Study Closure Submission:
A new submission type called “Study Closure” has been implemented for investigators to close their study with the IRB. Instead of submitting a “Continuing Review” submission, a Study Closure will now be submitted via the Study Closure submission type.  As a reminder, all studies require closure with the IRB upon completion, except for studies given a determination of Exempt, Non-Human, or Non-Research.

Attention VUMC Investigators: Effective December 1st, 2025, a worktag will be required in the funding section for all VUMC submissions. Studies or submissions that are NOT subject to IRB review fees WILL NOT BE CHARGED, but a worktag will be required for submission.

This change applies to VUMC studies only. This change does not apply to VU studies. IRB review fees will be charged to submissions meeting IRB Policy V.B. Please see FY 26 VUMC IRB Rates Notification.
