It is the responsibility of the principal investigator to complete these forms and attach all necessary documents as indicated in guidelines 1, 2, and 3. All research protocols are due the 1st of the month in which the researcher wishes the protocol to be reviewed. For example for a protocol to be reviewed at the November meeting, the completed protocol must be submitted to Submittable at https://nnu.submittable.com/submit by November 1st.

Ways to avoid the top 7 mistakes made in IRB submissions: Review the IRB handbook to make sure you understand the requirements. Protocol reviewed completely by the supervisor for corrections before submitting to the committee. Confirm that the researcher actually intends on doing the research.
