 If research is classified EXEMPT, you must submit all the
identified documents above and check Exempt on
category #4 of the proposed submission form.

The process for submitting applications to IRB for approval:

1. All research proposals (protocols) which include the
statement of project approval, approval/support memo
from student advisor, proposed consent form, research
abstract, statement of problem, purpose of study, need
for the study, research design describing the entire study
population, sample and study procedure and techniques,
limitation of study, significance of study and all relevant
information that describes chapter one of your study
should be submitted to:

Dr. Cosmas U. Nwokeafor
Graduate Dean and Chair IRB
Center for Business and Graduate Studies
Suite 1312
1400 Jericho Park Road
Bowie, MD 20715

301-860-3406 (office) 301-860-3414 (fax)
cnwokeafor@bowiestate.edu

2. After an initial review by the chair, submitted proposals
(protocols) that are not exempt (i.e., proposal involving
human subjects) must be forwarded to sub-Board
members by the chair for review. The review process will
take approximately four weeks for a proposal involving
human subjects to be completed and feedback sent to the
individual/group applying for approval.

3. Approved proposals will receive feedback from the chair
to that effect. However, unapproved proposal will also
receive feedback with specific indications as to why the
proposal was disapproved.

4. An unapproved proposal can be resubmitted for approval
if changes identified by the Board are made.
