New/Initial IRB Registration

An institution or organization that has not registered an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or been assigned an IORG number must complete an initial IRB registration application. You will need to create a new Submission Number to start this process.

Create a New IRB Registration Submission Number

In order to create a new Submission Number, you must first provide your email and create a new password. Once submitted, the new Submission Number will be emailed to the email address provided. Please remember your password as you will need both the new Submission Number and Password to start creating the new IRB Registration.

Important Reminders for this Process:

  • Remember your new password. You will need it for the new IRB registration application.
  • You will receive an email to the email address provided that contains the new Submission Number.
  • After receiving the email with the new Submission Number, return to this application to use the Submission Number and Password to start the new IRB Registration application.
  • Please make sure that you can receive messages from OHRPElectronicSubmissionSystem@mail.nih.gov
  • A submission number will be sent to you immediately by e-mail.
