You have the option to sign up for training or to submit a study on your own accord.

Closing a Study:
- If you intend to close an existing study with our office, please submit on paper format a Continuing Review Form requesting closure of this study by no later than May 31, 2012.
The link to obtain this form is: http://www.ouhsc.edu/irb-norman/forms.asp
Continuation of an on-going study:
- Active, on-going studies that will remain open beyond May 31, 2012 must be entered into iRIS, as a new study submission.
If your study is due to expire on or before May 31, 2012 it is strongly recommended that you submit your application online
now before the study expires to avoid closure. Please keep in mind that approval to extend your study will not be granted until
you have completed this process and your study status is active within iRIS.
