WSU Institutional Review Board (IRB) electronic submission portal ‘eIRB’ required effective Aug. 1

Effective Aug. 1, 2025, all new IRB applications (including Exempt, Non-Exempt, and Not Human Subjects Research) will be accepted only via the MyResearch online portal, eIRB.

Please ensure you review the eIRB Quick Start Guide prior to beginning a new application via the eIRB system. The QuickStart guide is also available on the HRPP/IRB home page.

You can access the system by logging into WSU’s MyResearch database to begin your application. The Word/PDF forms-based submission process will no longer be used for any new project after Oct. 31, 2025. If IRB paperwork is submitted via email after this date, it will be returned with a reminder to use the electronic system.

During the transition to the eIRB system, researchers can visit our Bookings page and schedule a virtual 30-minute “eIRB Submission Support” appointment. HRPP staff will be available to offer individualized assistance regarding eIRB submission issues by appointment only.

The full announcement and additional resources for eIRB use are available on our web page at irb.wsu.edu.
