proposed change as written or suggest changes to the proposal.
After the review period, the Chair or the HRPP specialist will compile a final version of the policy or procedure. This version will be presented to the board at the IRB meeting. All active board members will be asked to vote to approve or disapprove or to abstain. A policy or procedure change will be recommended for adoption if more than 50 percent of active IRB members vote to approve the proposed change. The Chair and/or the HRPP specialist will then present the policy or procedure change to the Provost and/or President for guidance as to getting the change officially approved and adopted.
Once a policy or procedural change is officially approved by the Board of Regents, it will be added to an appendix to these policies and procedures. This entry will include the date the policy or procedure was adopted and include reference to the earlier sections of the policy and procedures that have been modified, clarified, or invalidated.
For policies and procedures in matters not addressed in the policies and procedures herein, the IRB, OSP staff, and all KSU faculty, staff, and students should refer to and follow 45 CFR § 46, other relevant federal regulations, and OHRP guidance.
