 Online Human Subjects Research Determination Form - Reinstated 

The Online Human Subjects Determination (OHSD) Form has been reinstated and updated to include additional questions related to FDA-regulated activities and research funding.  These updates are intended to help ensure that the information needed to make an appropriate human subject research determination is captured during submission.

As a reminder, the OHSD Form should only be used to request a determination regarding whether a proposed project requires IRB review/oversight.  It should not be used as a substitute for consultation or for general questions about IRB requirements.

If you have questions about the OHSD Form, how to complete it, or whether it is appropriate for your project, please contact the IRB Office for assistance, IRB@augusta.edu or (706) 721-3110.
