IRB Policies & Forms
TCC's Institutional Review Board Policy
On Sept. 20, 2018, Tulsa Community College's Board of Regents approved the new IRB policy which governs human subjects research at TCC. You can download the policy below.
IRB Required Training
You must have completed CITI training on human subject protection within the past three years to submit an application to the TCC IRB. Your certificate of completion is required as part of the IRB application. Other training opportunities must be approved by the IRB to be considered as a replacement. If you are a TCC employee, please follow these instructions to register and complete the CITI training.
If you are a TCC student and would like to enroll in our free online course, log in to Blackboard via the MyTCC portal. Go to Organizations. Click on Organization Catalog in the upper, right-hand corner. Choose ID in the first drop-down menu. In the box, type irb_training. When the IRB_Training appears in the list, click on the down arrow next to the organization ID. Click on Enroll. You will have to have a copy of an approved training certificate of completion from within the past three years to submit with your IRB application.
