Orientation to Yale IRBs for Yale New Haven Health System Researchers
In preparation for a transition of oversight of Yale New Haven Health research to Yale Human Research Protection Program and Yale IRBs, Yale New Haven Health researchers, staff, and individuals with oversight responsibilities are invited to attend any one of the orientation sessions on navigating Yale IRBs. The session will cover the process for getting access to the Yale IRB system, IRB review of initial submissions, and transfer of existing studies. All sessions will be recorded.

If needed, additional sessions may be added.

The Yale Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) recently revised several public facing documents that our research community utilizes on a regular basis. Effective Monday, July 24, 2023, the following documents were minorly revised on our HRPP website and in the IRES IRB Library. Please ensure you are using the most recent version of the following documents:
- HRPP Policy & Standard Operating Procedure Manual
- HRPP Investigator Manual
- Consent/Assent/Parental Permission Templates
- HRP – 314 – WORKSHEET – Criteria for Approval
- IRB Submission Form
- Guideline-Quality Improvement Projects
Please note, the changes made are minor and should not substantially impact the development of research protocols nor the submission of IRES IRB applications.
Please see this high-level summary document that outlines the changes made to each public facing document. Please note, the Consent Glossary was also recently revised and is posted on the HRPP website and in the IRES IRB Library, with an effective date of June 26, 2023. The high-level summary document also details the Consent Glossary changes. For any questions, please contact HRPP@yale.edu.
May 25, 2023
Effective May 25, 2023, the “Supplement Safety during Pandemic” form will no longer be required as part of the IRB application for research being conducted within the United States. The Supplement remains a requirement for studies conducted outside the United States, except for studies limited to secondary data analysis or research that does not involve in-person interaction (for example, online surveys).
IRB guidance and IRB requirements have been updated accordingly and the revised Supplement is now available to investigators via the Other Forms tab in the IRES IRB Library and the Other Forms and Templates webpage on the Yale HRPP website.
