How must an IRB be registered?
Each IRB must be registered electronically through http://ohrp.cit.nih.gov/efile/ unless an institution or organization lacks the ability to register its IRB electronically. If an institution or organization believes it lacks the ability to register an IRB electronically, it should contact OHRP by telephone or email (see http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/assurances/status/contact/index.html) and explain why it is unable to register its IRB electronically. Any institution or organization that is unable to register electronically after consultation with OHRP must send its IRB registration information in writing to OHRP by fax at (240) 453-8202, by email as a pdf scanned document, or mail it to the Office for Human Research Protections, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1101 Wootton Parkway, Suite 200, Rockville, MD 20852.
