In December 2017, Michigan State University is implementing a new research compliance system, Click^TM, to manage its Institutional Review Board (IRB) activities. This will affect graduate students with current and future human subjects’ research applications and protocols. Click^TM will help streamline the compliance process and enhance security and application transparency for student and faculty investigators.

Educational opportunities, quick guides, and video demonstrations will be available on the Research Administration Project website this fall. There will be additional communications this fall about the upcoming IRB implementation, including training dates and the transition process for active projects. We encourage you to participate in these educational opportunities if your research involves human subjects. Please visit the Human Research Protection Program’s website and the Research Administration Project website for additional information.
