How do I get Human Subjects approval for my research project?

Requests to use human subjects in your research are made using a web-based application module (Office of Research Application for the use of Human Subjects; ORahs. Online tutorials are available.

When the investigator or faculty advisor clicks on “Submit to HSC,” another box on a separate page will appear indicating that the investigator or faculty advisor will agree to the terms.  Clicking on the “Submit to HSC” button will serve as the electronic signature for the protocol application in lieu of submitting the hard copy Signature Page to the HSC. 

Protocols will not be approved until all investigators have completed the HS training module. See http://hstraining.orda.ucsb.edu/faqs.htm for further information.
