New Submission Procedures
It is the responsibility of the principal investigator to supply copies as outlined below in items 1 and 2. Copies should include all applicable items: questionnaires, interview schedules, informed consent documents, and/or other supporting material.
- Send original documents with required signatures, and all attachments to: HRRC Secretary (Sandy Blom, Helstrom Business Center 1st floor).
- Electronic copy sent to HRRC@NNU.edu with required signatures, and all attachments
Ways to avoid the top 10 mistakes made in HRCC submissions:
- Review the handbook to make sure you understand the requirements.
- Have the protocol reviewed completely by the supervisor for corrections before submitting to the committee.
- Confirm that the researcher actually intends on doing the research. (Please NO submissions that are not going to be carried out to consume time from the committee)
- All permissions from study sites need to be included with the original submission.
- Make sure the correct form is used. (Exempt/non-exempt)
- Make sure all choices are read and clearly selected for the following:
- Full/Expedited/Exempt review (Make sure all and only the correct choices are selected on pages one-four)
- Clarify risk criteria.
- Anonymous/confidential (ONLY circle the one that applies-terms defined in handbook)
- Consent and assent forms need Principle Investigator and Faculty contact information and should be separate (not embedded in the report).
- Follow the forms in order, do not modify or change them. Make sure supervisor signature is legible. (Add a new line for printed name)
- Pages need to be numbered.
- Spell out abbreviations.
