Category: Proposals and Reviews
All research involving University of Portland faculty, staff, or students falls under the purview of the University IRB. Therefore, you are still required to submit your proposal for review to the University of Portland IRB, even though external IRBs may also be required to review the proposal. When multiple IRBs are involved, each board works collaboratively and shares responsibility and liability equally. However, the University IRB may defer to the requirements and preferences of collaborating IRBs in terms of protocols, procedures, and formats of documentation as long as they do not conflict with federal requirements.
