Find My IRB Coordinator

All RSRB (IRB) submissions are assigned an IRB Coordinator. IRB Coordinators:

  • Facilitate the review of RSRB (IRB) submissions
  • Act as the study team’s primary contact for questions related to IRB/RSRB submissions

Submissions are assigned to an IRB Coordinator based on the nature of the submission.

Who’s my IRB Coordinator?

Once a proposal has been submitted to the RSRB and has been assigned an IRB Coordinator, the assigned coordinator can be identified in the upper right corner of the study workspace.

Note: All IRB coordinators work remotely. They can be contacted by the email and phone numbers listed below, and are also available through MS Teams and Zoom.
