Prepare Your Human Subjects Research Study
New to Brown?
If you’re a new faculty member coming to Brown, make sure you understand how to transition your research awards, data and materials to the University. You may want to schedule an onboarding session to learn about Brown’s forms, processes and policies, or reach out to a Division of Research staff member for additional support.
Steps to Prepare Your Human Subjects Research Study
Review Brown’s principal investigator (PI) eligibility policies to ensure you are qualified to serve as a PI or research advisor.
Review guidance for collaborative research if your study will be conducted at any location other than Brown or with investigators from outside the University.
Learn more about the IRB and its review times, meeting dates and relevant deadlines.
Review IRB guidance to ensure the applicable policies are incorporated into your study.
Determine which offices, boards and committees (e.g., Conflict of Interest Review Board, Export Control) will need to provide ancillary reviews of your submission.
Download and prepare the necessary templates, forms and other supporting documents. Use the Search page on this site to find resources by keyword or topic.
Complete all required human subjects research training.
Once you have all your materials and reviews completed, you will submit your study in Huron, the electronic submission system used for HRPP/IRB review.
