Institutional Review Board (IRB) Registration

IRB Registration Update/Renewal

An institution or organization that has previously registered an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or been assigned an IORG number should complete an IRB registration update/renewal application. You will need to create a Submission Number to start this process.

To obtain an electronic submission number, please enter:

  1. Your institution's IORG number; i.e., IORGxxxxxxx.
  2. The LAST NAME (spelled exactly) of the Head Official and the IRB Chairperson.
  3. The e-mail address that you will be using for this submission.

    • at least (1) uppercase letter
    • at least (1) lowercase letter
    • at least (1) number or special character (ex. !@#$&)
    • a minimum of 7 characters, and a maximum of 15 characters
  5. Please make sure that you can receive messages from OHRPElectronicSubmissionSystem@mail.nih.gov
  6. A submission number will be sent to you immediately by e-mail.

Important Reminders for this Process:

  • Remember your new password. You will need it for the IRB registration update/renewal 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 IRB registration update/renewal application.
