Abstract

With a specific project in mind, we explored the implementation of an electronic Institutional Review Board (IRB) application for research involving human subjects, that would also require a user to provide a “digital signature” in compliance with current regulations that would meets the needs of the current IRB staff at the University of Baltimore.
