IRBManager for Submitting Research Protocols

IRBManager is an electronic protocol submission and management system. It utilizes electronic application forms that make it easier for researchers to make necessary edits and collaborate with other K-State investigators and/or students. Protocol information for each researcher is organized on their individual dashboards within the system.

To get started, simply visit the IRBManager website and log in with your K-State credentials. You will be brought to your user dashboard where you will be able to see all of your current research protocols as well as links to the application form to submit a new protocol.

More information on how to use IRBManager to submit and manage protocols can be found in the Investigator Guide.
