Preparing IRB Protocol Submission Documents
Clinical researchers submit Institutional Review Board protocols with study designs, consent forms, questionnaires, and investigator qualifications. These must be compiled in the IRB's required format and order.
Workflow
- Compile all protocol documents: study plan, consent forms, data collection instruments
- Convert any non-PDF documents to PDF format
- Use the PDF Merger to combine all documents in the IRB's required order
- Use the PDF Page Organizer to add required cover pages and checklists
- Apply PDF Compression for electronic submission
- Submit the complete protocol package through the IRB submission portal
