The Human Research Protection Program team can offer advising and guidance to researchers who are preparing initial applications, modifying existing submissions, or drafting responses to stipulations from reviewers. Researchers can schedule a meeting as early on in the application process as they wish, but we will gladly provide support at any point during the lifecycle of a study.

We will not review documents before these meetings. Please come prepared to ask questions and discuss your study plan. We encourage you to have your submission materials available during the appointment so that you have the option of incorporating elements of the discussion into your protocol or related documents during the meeting.

To schedule a 30 minute advising appointment, please email us at irb@oregonstate.edu. Include a summary of your research study and a description of any questions you have, or what you wish to address during your appointment. If you wish to discuss an application that has been submitted or is under review, please include the study number and PI name in your email.
