Where can I find the Application Forms?
You can find the Application Forms for each committee under the “Designer” section of a specific project. Once in the Designer section, click “Add New Document” at the bottom of the page. Under the second box titled “On-Line Document,” select the “Rice Application Form” for the specific committee that you are applying to and click “add” and follow the prompts to complete the form.

When do I need to complete the Online Application Form?
You need to complete and submit “IBC Application” when:

• You are submitting a new Initial Application to the IBC.
• If your project existed before the switch to IRB Net, you will need to complete and include the Online Application Form when you submit a Protocol Amendment Form or Continuing Review in IRB Net for the first time ONLY.
• Any time you make a change to your research that requires a change to the Online Application Form Responses (i.e., change in personnel, study participants or species).

For more information on application forms, please view the IBC Readme Document. For assistance with completing forms contact your compliance administrator.

You need to complete and submit “IACUC Application” when:

• You are submitting a new Initial Application to the IACUC.
• If your project existed before the switch to IRB Net, you will need to complete and include the Online Application Form when you submit a Modification Form or Continuing Review in IRB Net for the first time ONLY.
• Any time you make a change to your research that requires a change to the Online Application Form Responses (i.e., change in personnel, study participants or species).

For more information on application forms, please view the IACUC Readme Document.

IRBNet has created duplicate Online Application Forms within my package Designer, what do I do?

Duplicate application forms are created when the user clicks back in the browser bar instead of using the previous and next buttons within the IRBNet document wizard. If you happen to duplicate the application form, delete all forms that are designated as incomplete. If you are not sure which one to delete, usually the application with the oldest chronological date is the most complete. However, it is important that user reviews each duplicate and select Save & Exit to return to the designer. By selecting Save and Exit this will designate which forms have been completed making it easier to determine which duplicated forms need to be deleted.
