IRB - Human Subjects Research
In addition to promoting the acquisition of external support for
faculty and staff research and programmatic and creative endeavors, the
Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) is responsible for
ensuring that CMU is fully compliant with a variety of research-related
policies and procedures. The increasing complexity of the research
process, the requirements of federal and state agencies, and the
accountability of university personnel to colleagues, students, the
university, and the larger community necessitate that CMU provide its
research community with mechanisms that ensure that research is
conducted in a manner that is compliant with all governing oversight
offices.
To accomplish this goal, ORSP has adopted a software package called
IRBNet that is designed to be open to the entire CMU research community
and assists in the management and oversight that support IRB, IACUC, and
other compliance boards with one unified solution.
IRBNet will allow for online submission of research proposals involving
humans and animals and will create required reporting documents for the
oversight and regulatory offices.
IRBNet is an enterprise-class, hosted toolset that is secure and
accessible from anywhere, anytime on any platform. Users need only have
an internet connection and a browser, thus making it possible for our
off-campus programs to use this system for submission of proposals.
IRBNet is required for
all IRB submissions
starting in Spring 2009.
Note: Paper submissions will only be accepted through 2008. As
of January 1, 2009, all IRB applications should be submitted through
IRBNet. However, researchers are encouraged to begin using IRBNet
immediately for purposes of continuity.

Important Information for MSA Students
Online Training in the Use of Human Subjects
Effective January 1, 2009, all investigators conducting research with human subjects will be required to complete training in the protection of human subjects in research. CMU has adopted the online training system offered through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). CITI offers courses in the responsible conduct of research and can be individualized for specific university needs. CITI allows for the tracking of individuals who have completed their respective training requirements. Thus, individuals who are required to complete training in human subjects research would complete only the training relevant in this area.
Implications for Research Involving Human Subjects
By the beginning of the 2009 Spring Semester, all investigators conducting research with human subjects must provide evidence of training in human-subjects protection. Completion of CITI training is reported to CMU.
CITI Instructions for Researchers (see also Section 3 of the Student Guide to the MSA 685 Project)

with any questions
regarding the utilization of either IRBNet or CITI.
