New Project Application
Use the new project application in eResearch for both standard applications and exemption requests. See our Education web-page for workshops on eResearch. For web-posted instructions on eResearch, see IRBMED guidance.
- Click on the New Project Application link which will take you to the eResearch homepage.
- To start an application click on the "Log-in" button in the left column.
- On the next screen, click the "New Study" button in the left column under the Create header.
- An application opens. Complete the questions on each page. Click the "Continue" button to both save input information and advance forward in the application. This button appears on both the top and bottom of the right side of the screen.
- Using the "continue" button will invoke 'smart form' logic which will route you to only those sections of the applications you are required to complete.
- If you 'jump' to different sections of the application your information will be saved but you risk completing sections that are not required.
- When the application is complete the principal investigator must hit the 'submit' button in the homespace of the application.

Use the new project application in eResearch (see instructions in "New Project" above), indicating in section 1.12 whether the report is for use of an investigational drug or device. IRBMED recommends both calling and emailing the office as soon as the decision to use an investigational agent for clinical purposes is made. After hours and on weekends, in addition to emailing the office, ask the UMHS operator (734-936-4000) to page the IRBMED chair on-call.
Use the new project application in eResearch after reviewing the Humanitarian Use Device Guidance to determine which type of application you should submit..

Recruitment Advertising Flyer Templates
Researchers are NOT required to use these templates. They are offered as an example of the type of flyer typically approved. You may change the fonts, colors, add logos, artwork, etc. Do not make monetary compensation a larger font than the expected risks.
These templates include the header for 'watermarking' in eResearch. The flyer must be saved and uploaded into eResearch as a .DOC to enable the watermarking function.
