Answer: Yes or No

HS-1B displays if HS-1 = Yes

HS-1B. IRB Approval Pending:  Will you need to submit a new IRB application, modify an existing IRB application, or are awaiting approval of a current IRB application for the human subject research in this project?

Answer: Yes or No

A table for IRB Application Details displays if HS-1 = Yes

Note: If HS-1 = Yes, and HS-1A = No (Delayed Onset), and HS-1B = No (IRB Approval Pending), then you must include at least one IRB application. See details below on how to add an IRB Application.

    • Payment of physician professional fees for clinical services from a UW-affiliated or Northwest Hospital physician is required, separate from the salaried research personnel effort reflected in the budget.
