External researchers who are on a project with a La Verne researcher, please click on the “Click here to register” link. The La Verne researcher can then add you as an investigator to their study.

External researchers who are not working on a project with a La Verne researcher, please connect with a La Verne faculty member, in the area you wish to research, to sponsor your study. Then, click on the “Click here to register” link to start your application. Review the procedures for external researchers prior to submitting your application. Most research does not require an IRB approval and may be granted permission to research at La Verne by relying on your institution’s IRB.

External Advisor/Mentor/Chair, please click on the “Click here to register” link. Your student can then add you as an investigator to their study. You only need to do this one time.

Addressing Revisions for an Initial La Verne IRB Application
