<p><strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt">IRB processes go paperless thru RAMP</span></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The Division of Research is now fully able to process paperless Institutional Review Board (IRB) applications through
<a href="https://ramp.research.uh.edu/" target="_blank">RAMP</a>, the
Research Administration Management Portal. IRB applications are reviewed
by the Committees for the Protection of Human Subjects (CPHS).<br>
<br>
RAMP has the capability to process new human subject applications as
well as revisions and renewals for approval by CPHS. The new, paperless
IRB process allows for the development and routing of applications, and
the upload and routing of required documents.
A built-in “quick view” allows users to know the current status of
their application.<br>
Training for using RAMP for IRB processes is scheduled for <a href="http://www.research.uh.edu/Events/2011/IRB-Training-for-RAMP.aspx" target="_blank">
August 11</a>, <a href="http://www.research.uh.edu/Events/2011/IRB-Training-for-RAMP-%281%29.aspx" target="_blank">
