Cayuse IRB - Human Ethics FAQs

What is Cayuse IRB - Human Ethics?
Cayuse IRB - Human Ethics is the online IRB submission system that UNI has selected to replace the earlier PDF application and email submission process. The system allows for all IRB submissions to be submitted online. In addition to new studies, all renewals, modifications, and incident reports will also be submitted and managed through this online system.

What if I have a study submitted and approved prior to Cayuse IRB?  Will this study appear in Cayuse?  
Yes, all active studies approved prior to the implementation of Cayuse were migrated as "Legacy Studies."  The Legacy Study will only serve as a record that you have an active study.  Only your original application will be uploaded into Cayuse, but this record will allow you to request subsequent actions through Cayuse such as a Modification, Incident Report or Study Closure.   

Will training be offered on the new system?
Yes, training sessions are available in addition to the online resources on this page. Individual sessions may be requested by contacting the IRB Administrator Lisa Ahern at lisa.ahern@uni.edu
