HRP Toolkit
The HRP Toolkit is a central location for all critical-IRB related documentation. There are new documents corresponding to the new standard operating procedures, of note:
- HRP-101 Human Research Protection Plan - The plan references the scope, purpose, mission and all programmatic components of human subject research at UCI. This document, along with the Worksheets and Investigator Manual replace our prior HRP Policies and Procedures.
- HRP-103 Investigator Manual - The manual provides an overview of expectations and practices to conduct human subject research at UCI.
- Worksheets - Resources for our human research community (the IRB, HRP staff, UCI researchers and partners) for relevant IRB considerations.
- Principal Investigator (PI) Worksheets - The PI Worksheets on special topics of research must be completed and attached, as applicable, to the ZOT IRB application.
Please take a moment to review the contents of the toolkit and How to Submit in ZOT IRB prior to submitting in ZOT IRB.
