Starting June 1, 2009, any faculty member or other Loyola employee conducting independent research or overseeing student-conducted research and any student working on independent research, a dissertation, or thesis that involves research with human subjects,is required to complete a free online education program prior to the review of his or her Application for Approval of Investigation Involving Human Participants. If the application is for a classroom project, the faculty member who assigned the project is responsible for completing the online program, acquainting students with the human subjects education, and ensuring that classroom-based projects are conducted in accordance with Loyola University Maryland's Policies and Procedures for Research Involving Human Participants. The online education course can be accessed at http://phrp.nihtraining.com/users/login.php. An initial copy of the program certificate of completion must be submitted to the office of research and sponsored programs, either directly or with an application. Further submission of the certificate is not required unless updated information is released through the online program.

Principal Investigators must submit a Request for Amendment form when seeking to make a change to a study that has already been approved. Committee approvals for expedited and full review applications are for one-year periods. If the research activity extends past one year, applicants must submit a Request for Renewal form at least three weeks prior to the expiration of the initial approval period. Any problems connected with the use of human participants once the project has begun must be reported to the office of research and sponsored programs and/or the Institutional Review Board immediately.
