To apply for HSRB review, complete the following steps:

  2. Determine the level of risk of the proposed research and whether the research might be exempt from the need for HSRB approval. Please refer to the Hope HSRB Decision Tree.
  3. Complete and submit your HSRB application using the HSRB Online Application Management System.

The HSRB strives to consider proposals received by the 15th of a given month before the next deadline. All proposals received by the 15th will be eligible for that month’s full board meeting.
