Online IRB Application

IRBManager is an electronic system for IRB application submission and management of IRB-related study records. The system provides automation to the IRB application and review process with conditioned questions, electronic signatures and routing, and email notifications. It also allows for collaboration between researchers when completing the IRB application, as well as collaboration with the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research Integrity during IRB review of the application. The system maintains all IRB-related records for your studies.

IRBManager FAQs

(More general IRB FAQs can be found on the IRB FAQ page.)

Is there a preferred browser for accessing IRBManager?

Yes, IRBManager works best in Google Chrome on PCs and Firefox on Macs.

What is my IRBManager login?

You will login to IRBManager using your UCCS credentials. If you have issues with your login, contact UCCS IT.

Can I change the way my dashboard looks?

Yes, the dashboard has two views and a dark mode. You can toggle the dashboard view under “Actions” > “Use Bubble Dashboard” on the left side. You can engage dark mode using the icon at the top right of the page.

Why is my Faculty Advisor or other study personnel not showing up when I try to add them?

If a user has never logged in to IRBManager, they cannot be added to a study. Contact your FA or other personnel and ask them to login. Then, you will be able to add them.

Do I have to list a Faculty Advisor if I am a student?

Yes, all student research, undergraduate and graduate, must be overseen by a faculty member.

When I clicked to sign the application nothing happened, what should I do?

Sometimes, due to browser updates or pop-up blockers, the signature window will not open. Allow pop-ups for the site. If it still will not work, open the application in another browser.

My research is an online survey. Is my site UCCS?

This depends on the target of your survey. If your participant population is UCCS students, then please answer ‘Yes’ when asked ‘Will the research be conducted at UCCS?’ If your population is broader than UCCS, please choose ‘No’ and list your site on the following page.

How do I make changes to my approved protocol?

Once a protocol has been approved, you must submit a Request for Change to make any changes. This application can be accessed from your study. See the IRBManager User Manual for specific directions.

There is an addendum attached to my application that does not apply to my research, what do I do?

The application has smart questions that generate other questions and pages. Go back to the first page of the application and review your answers, you have likely checked a box for a vulnerable population or other circumstance that generated the addendum.

Is there a limit to the types of files that can be uploaded to a protocol?

No, all types of files can be added. If you have audio or visual files in addition to standard PDF or Word docs, you can attach them as well.
