Holiday Review Schedule

No reviews will be conducted between November 17th and 26th or between December 14th and January 22nd for the Thanksgiving and Winter Breaks.

Submit Your Proposal

In order to facilitate a speedy review...

  1. Use this Checklist. 101 Checklist for Request for Initial Review (29 KB) It will help you make sure you have included all of the required documentation.

  2. Do not assume your reviewers can "fill in the blanks". Write your RfR for someone who knows nothing about your study or discipline.

  3. Read the Reviewer Worksheet. 502 Worksheet for Request for Intial Review (35 KB) It lists the questions reviewers ask themselves when evaluating a Request for Review.

  4. If your study involves recruiting participants from a classroom other than your own, include documentation that the professor understands the recruitment process and what is being asked of his or her students. A pdf copy of an email exchange is fine.

  5. Include CITI Training certificates of completion for all investigators, faculty advisors, and research assistants.

  6. Use the templates provided on this site for scripts and permissions. They include all of the information required by 45 CFR 46.

Then email your proposal to Dr. Ann Morrison, Chair of the Institutional Review Board, at cmorri46@msudenver.edu.
