Procedures
After the applied dissertation committee and the ARC have approved the
proposal, the student should electronically forward, via ADRIANA, a copy
of the approved proposal together with the completed IRB submission
package to the ARC for review (see the IRB section of the ARC
website).
It is suggested that the student begin preparing the IRB documents when
the chair states that the proposal is near approval. Doing this will
conserve time.
• The chair must review all IRB documents before submission.
