Instructions and Requirements for Submitting Applications

All Montclair State University Institutional Review Board (IRB) forms are available for download as Word documents on the Institutional Review Board (IRB) website at http://www.montclair.edu/pages/ORSP/irb.html

Applications are accepted and reviewed on an ongoing basis. Therefore, you can submit your application at any time.

There are three review categories: Exempt, Expedited, and Full. (See MSU IRB Manual for category definitions)

Should the IRB determine that your application requires full committee review, it will be reviewed at the following IRB meeting if the application is received by the specified deadline.

The IRB will make every effort to notify you of its action as quickly as possible. Regardless of the type of review your application receives, you will receive notification of the IRB's action no later than 21 work days after submission of your application or within 7 work days after the IRB meeting, if a full review is required.
