Study-level submissions
Please use IRBManager for submissions to the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Institutional Review Board. Refer to the IRBManager for Researchers and Staff User Guide for navigation instructions.
Submitting a study for initial NMDP IRB Review
- For a new bio-medical or social/behavioral study, submit applicable Initial Application xForm from your Dashboard in IRBManager
- If you need help determining if the study is human subjects research requiring IRB review, submit the Human Subjects Research Determination xForm from your Dashboard in IRBManager
- If your study involves NMDP unrelated donors, and you’re wondering if it needs NMDP IRB approval, refer to the Donors as Research Subjects Algorithm (PDF).
Submitting continuing reviews to the NMDP IRB
Approximately two months prior to the review, the principal investigator and study contacts will receive an email from IRBManager that contains a link to the xForm to begin the continuing review application.
