To apply for HSRB review, complete the following steps:

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.
