Institutional Review Board (Case IRB)
The CWRU SBER IRB has implemented a new electronic application submission system called iRIS. Please refer to the iRIS Page for more information about how to enter your new and currently approved protocols into the system.
While we are transitioning to the new electronic system, paper forms may still be submitted for protocol modifications (amendments) and continuing reviews, especially for the purpose of closing a study.

Case IRB Consent Form Examples
Example Informed Consent Document
Example Child Assent for Children up to age 8
HIPAA Authorization Language for Consent
Guidance on Child Assent for children ages 8-17
The Case IRB suggests that researchers utilize a written and signed child assent
form for subjects in this age range (in addition to parental permission).
When drafting a written assent form, researchers may find it helpful to
create a simplified version of an adult informed consent document, appropriate
for the reading level of the subjects (see "Example Informed Consent
Document" above).
Case IRB Responsible Investigator Certification Form
Only Case faculty members who meet the human subjects research education requirement may act as Responsible Investigators, unless certified as someone, "with whom the university has or intends to have an ongoing contractual relationship". Please open, print and complete the form below; and, if applicable, send it to the Case IRB Office before or along with a completed new protocol application. Once accepted by the Case IRB Office, there is no need to complete this form again.
