SUNY Cortland uses a primary review procedure that begins with submitting information and required documents to the IRB. To ensure your application is reviewed in a timely manner, submit applications, consent/assent forms, and all supporting materials as an email attachment to irb@cortland.edu.
Original signature-bearing documents must be sent by US Mail or intercampus mail, addressed to Institutional Review Board, PO Box 2000, Miller Building Room 402, Cortland, NY 13045. Examples of signtature-bearing documents include: Appendix A (signature page); institutional permission letters; Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), etc. Investigators conducting research off campus can submit Appendix A by fax, and can ask outside agencies to send their permission letters, MOUs, etc by fax as well. This policy is consistent with current federal regulations concerning the submission of signature-bearing documents.
When all documents have been received, exempt and expedited applications are forwarded to the Chair and/or the primary reviewer. Confirmed full review applications are forwarded to the IRB Chair for placement on the agenda. Full board meetings will be scheduled as needed for the Spring 2010 semester.
