Chattanooga Research Forms and Resource Links

The UTHSC College of Medicine Chattanooga IRB has transitioned to a new online submission platform, IRBNet. New and subsequent submissions must now be submitted through the new program portal. Instructions on how to register, link your CITI Training and make submissions as well as updated document checklists are located on the IRB Guidance and Policy tab.

For initial submissions, please be aware, the initial application exception request HIPAA and delegation log have been combined into one smart form. You will need to click on the Start Wizard tab under the Designer tab once you begin entering a new project.

All other forms are located in the Forms and Template tab along with consent form templates and other documents required for initial and subsequent submission. The FORM J has now been combined with the request for (QI/QA) and Non-Human Subject Research Determination.
