Application for Morehouse College Institutional Review Board Approval - for use by Morehouse College faculty and staff only


If you are a Morehouse College student seeking IRB approval for a class project or independent study, please submit your request using the Morehouse Student IRB Application.

If you are investigator not affiliated with Morehouse College, please submit your request using the non-Morehouse Researchers IRB Application.


In accordance with Federal Regulations, the Morehouse College Institutional Review Board (IRB) ensures the protection of human subjects in research projects (45 CFR 46). All researchers intending to work with human subjects must submit an application to the IRB prior to the start of research activities. Human subject research includes any study involving human subjects, including survey questionnaires. All human subject studies are subject to IRB review regardless of the purpose, extent, context, or source of funding for the study. Research initially undertaken without the intent of using human subjects, which later propose to do so, must comply with these procedures. 


Please allow at least four weeks for a review of your application.  Note that incomplete or insufficient responses will extend the review time.


Training in Human Subject Research is required.  If you have not completed the IRB training, or if your certification has expired, you may access the required course here: CITI IRB Human Subject Training
