Pre- Submission Consultation
The Pre-Submission Specialist serves as a resource for student and faculty investigators proposing to conduct research involving human subjects. The pre-submission process covers knowledge of applicable federal regulations related to all human subjects submissions, and other local, state, or international regulations applicable. Pre-Submission consultation may include assistance in the preparation, completion and submission of protocols, assistance in using RAMP IRB, and education related to your study’s administrative requirements. The consultation process serves as a proactive resource for research teams in ensuring compliance and supporting reduction in overall review times.
