IRB Review Board Process for Georgia State University Applicants

The Joint Center for Advanced Brain Imaging Institutional Review Board has been established to oversee human subjects research protocols conducted at the Center located at 831 Marietta Street. The Board is comprised of faculty and administrators from Georgia State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology and the greater Atlanta community. Administrative support for the Board is provided by the Georgia Tech Office of Research Compliance.

1.  Establish a Georgia Tech IRBWise user account. (This is in addition to your GSU IRBWISE account). Forward your account request, along with your full name, email address, telephone number, and departmental affiliation to:

   Shelia L. White, Senior Compliance Officer
   Georgia State University
   Office of Research Integrity
   

   The Georgia Tech Office of Research Compliance will send you an email containing your new Georgia Tech IRBWise account information.

2. Prepare the protocol online in Georgia Tech IRBWISE. Principal Investigators must be members of the GSU faculty; students may not be PIs on protocols.
3. Forward the protocol to your appropriate administrator (Chair, Dean, Director, Department Head) for sign-off. He/she will submit the protocol to the Joint Center for Advanced Brain Imaging IRB for review. Georgia Tech IRBWise accounts have been established for Georgia State University faculty with departmental sign-off privileges.

The Joint Center for Advanced Brain Imaging IRB generally meets on the first Monday of the month. Protocol submissions must be received by the 15th day of the previous month to be added to the meeting agenda.
