Just a friendly reminder that it is the responsibility of faculty, staff, and student researchers to be aware of the status of their IRB protocols in IDEATE and, upon completion of a study, submit a final report in IDEATE to close out the project in the system. Please note that you will not be able to re-open a protocol once it has been closed (you’ll need to create a new IRB application), so please be sure not to submit a final report until all study activities have concluded, including data analysis and publication using study data.
Masters and doctoral students: Upon graduating, you are no longer considered a CUNY affiliate for HRPP/IRB purposes, so your research can no longer continue to be covered by the CUNY IRB. Please remember to submit a final report for your research after you graduate from the SPH.
