Prior to IRB submission, all projects that will utilize Banner Health resources (i.e., facilities, patients, employees) must be entered into the University of Arizona Health Sciences (UAHS) Research Administration Portal (RAP). Upon submission to the IRB, please upload RAP approval to eIRB.

If you are traveling outside of the United States to conduct human subjects research, you will need to register your travel with the UA Travel Registry. For more information on conducting international research, see our guidance on International Research.

The HSPP considers Children, Cognitively Impaired Individuals, Pregnant Women and Neonates, Prisoners, and Native American or International Indigenous Populations to be vulnerable populations that require additional protections and safeguards. When your targeted study population includes one or more of these vulnerable populations, the appropriate Appendix for Vulnerable Populations is required with your eIRB submission.
