2. If you need to submit an IRB application, then download and review the Valencia College  IRB-Overview and Application Package before submitting the IRB application. It includes an example of the application form. Please read the IRB overview below before applying.

Note:  Please do not apply until you have all of your materials ready for review in the final form. We are no longer accepting the prior application forms in Word or PDF. Applications must be made using the online form, responding to each question asked in the online form.

3. After you read the IRB Overview and Application Package, click here to submit an IRB application. Once you submit your IRB application, your Valencia supervisor/ sponsor will be asked to sign  this form. 

4. After you have submitted your IRB application online, please create a HelpDesk ticket to communicate and track your progress with the office. Please use the "Learn more" bottom on the right to submit a ticket.

 If you are a student, you should not be completing this process. Please contact your instructor to discuss this.
