West Virginia State University IRB does not use paper forms. The Board requires that all submissions go through the online platform Cayuse (
https://wvstateu.cayuse424.com/). All first time users must get a username and password to access the system from the Chair of IRB, the administrator overseeing the board, or from OSP. All the contact information can be found in the team information below. Once the usernames are created it takes 24 hours for the account to update and information to become active. Everyone named on an IRB protocol must complete the University's Responsible Conduct in Research training (Directions in the attachment below). Protocols will not be evaluated until complete. Once the submissions are complete they will automatically be directed for administrative approval before coming to IRB for review. Please allow for two weeks for review. Retroactive approvals will not be granted so pick a start date that is consistent with that time delay.
