KSU IRB uses an online system for the submission and review of human research studies. Cayuse Research Suite is our portal for IRB submissions. Cayuse allows for the submission and review of new studies, modifications, continuing review including renewed approval and closure, and reports of new information. You will receive decision information and feedback emails from the IRB office via this system.

What happens after I have complete my submission form?
When a submission has been completed and submitted, the PI, and Co-PI (if applicable), will receive an email notification letting them know they need to log in and certify the submission in Cayuse. Once certified, the submission will be routed to the IRB Office and the PI, Co-PI (if applicable), and Primary Contact will receive an acknowledgment email.
Once a submission has been reviewed, the PI, Co-PI (if applicable), and Primary Contact will receive email notification to communicate the decision of the IRB. Emails with decision “Return to PI” communicate review comments and requests for additional information or changes needed before approval can be granted. Investigators should respond to review comments and requests for additional information or changes in a timely manner and must not begin research activities until receipt of email with decision “Approved”, determination “Exempt”, or decision “Not Human Subjects Research”.
How long will it take to review a submission?
The time it takes to receive feedback on the submission depends on the completeness of the submission, the complexity of the study, and the volume of studies already under review at the time the submission is received. Submissions are reviewed according to type and date received. Plan for review times to take 2-4 weeks. Research that requires full committee review may take up to 8 weeks. Research requiring full committee review should be submitted 30 days prior to the anticipated meeting date.
