Research activities involving human subjects in six-federally approved categories may be exempt from review by Columbus State’s Institutional Review Board. The principal investigator/project director is authorized to make the first determination of eligibility for exemption; however, the College bears the responsibility for concurring in that determination based on notice provided by the principal investigator to the Institutional Review Board .
Read the protocol and the approved categories. If you believe your project qualifies, complete the protocol and send it to the IRB administrator.
Research involving human subjects that is not eligible for exemption is reviewed by the IRB. Complete the full protocol and send it to the IRB administrator.
