Prior to IRB submission, all projects that will utilize Banner Health resources (i.e., facilities, patients, employees) must be entered into the University of Arizona Health Sciences (UAHS) Research Administration Portal (RAP). Upon submission to the IRB, please upload RAP approval to eIRB.
If you are traveling outside of the United States to conduct human subjects research, you will need to register your travel with the UA Travel Registry. For more information on conducting international research, see our guidance on International Research.
The HSPP considers Children, Cognitively Impaired Individuals, Pregnant Women and Neonates, Prisoners, and Native American or International Indigenous Populations to be vulnerable populations that require additional protections and safeguards. When your targeted study population includes one or more of these vulnerable populations, the appropriate Appendix for Vulnerable Populations is required with your eIRB submission.
For questions that require immediate attention, please email the general inbox at VPR-IRB@arizona.edu. This inbox is continuously monitored, and your questions will be directed to the appropriate individual.
Investigators are required to report local problems, concerns, serious risks, and failure to follow the protocol to the IRB for all human subjects research. These reports must be submitted to the IRB within ten (10) business days of discovery. Changes made to eliminate risk to subjects must be reported to the IRB within five (5) business days of discovery. Reportable items must be submitted in eIRB as a Reportable New Information (RNI).

IRB review and approval is required for research projects involving human subjects.
