News and Announcements
- Introducing the Upgraded Form 129
- The IRB Form 129 has been remodeled, relocated, and renamed as the HSR Determination Form. This upgrade is designed to both enhance and expedite the path to finding out if a project requires IRB approval, and it will now be accessed and submitted directly through OneAegis. To use this form, simply log in to OneAegis, then click “Start HSR Determination Form.” (No email to the IRB Office is necessary, unless you just wanted to say hello).
- *OneAegis login access is required to use the HSR Determination Form. Old versions of the Form 129 will no longer be accepted after January 31st. Please contact the IRB Office if you have any questions.
- HRPP Staff Liaison
- Have an IRB question, but not sure who to call? Starting this month, HRPP staff members are assigned to serve as the liaison for specific departments or colleges, meaning you and your department will work with the same specialist each time you submit a human research study. Please see the IRB’s Contact Us page to see who serves as your college/department liaison.
- New Exempt Study Resources
- Researchers planning to conduct studies that qualify for IRB exempt status can now use the Participant Information Sheet Examples as a guide for developing study enrollment materials. These examples show the minimum information needed to inform potential participants about minimal-to-no risk research studies in simple, everyday language that meets ETSU ethical standards. Please note that non-exempt research requires more stringent informed consent language and processes, and researchers are encouraged to use the Informed Consent Templates for those studies.
