Inter-Institutional Acceptance Form for External Researchers

If your research project has already been approved or exempted by an Institutional Review Board (IRB), please make sure to attach approval documentation in the Attachments section at the bottom of the form, along with any other documentation relevant to this project. HRPP staff will then review the external IRB’s decision.

Please note that acceptance of a prior IRB review determination does not guarantee access to a KCTCS College to conduct research, or to data requested from the KCTCS Office of Research and Policy Analysis (ORPA). Upon acceptance of a prior IRB approval or exemption, you will be required to gain site access approval from any KCTCS College to be included in your research protocol.
