IRB Forms

Submission of IRB applications and other forms is a two-part process involving submission of both electronic and hard copy versions of the completed forms.

For IRB applications, Step 1 involves using the interactive flowchart process (via the "Getting Started" link to the left) to determine if an application needs to be submitted, and if so, which type of review the application is likely to be subject to. Step 2 involves reading the instructions and completing the IRB application package (available below and also at the end of the "Getting Started" interactive process) using your computer, then saving and submitting the application as an attachment via email to the IRB Chair at irb@valenciacc.edu. Required additional documents for the IRB application (e.g., informed consent forms, recruitment flyers, survey questions, pre- and post-tests) should be included as attachments in the same email transmission. These additional documents may be submitted in Word, Excel, or Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format. The subject line for the email should say "IRB application [insert last name of Principal Investigator]." Signatures of the Principal Investigator (PI), any Co-Principal Investigators, and the PI Supervisor/Administrator are not required on the emailed version of the application form, however the review process will not officially begin until the original signed hard copy of the IRB application and all appropriate additional documents are received by the IRB Chair.

Other forms shown below are for use by PIs operating already-approved projects.

Internal Investigators should send hard copies of documents to "IRB Chair" at Mail Code 3-32. External Investigators should mail hard copies to IRB Chair, Valencia Community College, P.O. Box 3028, Mail Code 3-32, Orlando, FL 32802.
