Protocol Submissions
All protocols, including amendments and renewals, are submitted through Streamlyne. You can log into Streamlyne using your UARK ID and password. You can find instructions on how to create, complete, and submit a new protocol at http://streamlyneinfo.uark.edu, under Streamlyne: IRB Protocols. Most new protocols typically require completion of Modules 3.0 to 3.3 and 3.6 to 3.7. Each module corresponds to a tab in Streamlyne and includes screenshots and guidance.
For technical assistance with Streamlyne, contact Michael Senkevech in the Office of Sponsored Programs. For assistance specifically with IRB protocols, contact Ro Windwalker in the Office of Research Integrity and Compliance.
Protocols will qualify for one of three types of review: Exempt, Expedited, or Full Board. For assistance in determining what type of review may be required for your protocol, please visit these decision charts provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services's Office for Research Portections.
On the Protocol tab in Streamlyne, when you create a protocol you will be asked to choose a protocol type. An IRB expert will review your submission upon receipt of the protocol and can modify the protocol type as needed during the review process.
