The HRPP  has both paper and electronic forms; in some cases the data from the form can be submitted online directly to HRPP as well as printed.  These documents are in Adobe Acrobat 5.0 format.  If you do not have the Acrobat reader, you can get it here

Macintosh users please note
:  the online PDF forms are compatible with Adobe Acrobat 6.0.  Earlier versions of Acrobat for the Macintosh may not support for PDF forms (form is viewable but there is no functioning Submit button on the last page). 

Biomedical Research Forms


Biomedical Research Application forms 
  • Standard Forms for UCSD and VASDHS research
    • Hybrid Consent Information Update: The VA R&D review process is currently undergoing a transition and that office has contacted researchers directly. As a result of the changes in process, studies including both UCSD and VA sites and/or investigators may be affected. Therefore, during this period, it has been determined that it may be best for researchers to continue to submit separate UCSD and VA/VMRF consents rather than use the newly proposed VA hybrid consent when submitting NEW applications for IRB review. In addition, institutional contractual agreements (such as clinical trial agreements or CTAs) may differ between institutions that can impact consent language. A review by these offices of the proposed hybrid consent is underway. Please note: should you already have an approved hybrid consent, continued use is acceptable at this time through the expiration period until further notice.
    • Continuing Review Facepages, Continuing Review Narrative Summary of Progress, and as applicable, currently approved consent forms and clean consent forms (for stamping) are to be submitted approximately 45 days prior to expiration date (365 days from initial approval or as outlined in the approval letter). These must be reviewed in conjunction with an IRB meeting. To avoid any expiration or lapse in approval, please ensure submission according to IRB due dates, not meeting dates. To avoid suspension of study, again, it is strongly suggested that the submission process begin 45 days prior to expiration.
      • It is the PI's responsibilty to gain continuing approval for projects lasting longer than one year. Therefore, the PI's department should maintain internal systems to track when continuing reviews must be submitted. Although e-IRB systems can be useful, they should not be relied upon to avoid lapses in approval (due to volume of data and access by multiple users). Federal regulations require that IRB review and re-approval of projects be accomplished  at intervals not greater than 365 days. If Initial and Continuing Reviews are granted, the maximum project lifespan is up to 4 years (i.e., up to three cycles of Continuing Review after Intial approval). No later than 45 days prior to the fourth anniversay of Initial approval, the project must  be resubmitted as a New Application. The title should include the word "Resubmission" after the title on the new application facepages.

Supplementary VA Investigator forms
MXT - Application for Use of Existing Pathological or Diagnostic Specimens

MXP - Application for Approval in Principle--to be used only for funding proposals in which definite plans for the involvement of human subjects will not be set forth; i.e., training grants, institutional type grants, or projects in which the involvement of human subjects will depend upon completion of instruments, prior animal studies, or purification of compounds.
