Updates and News

Processing Timeline Update

• We have resolved the minor backlog due to the reduced hours during winter break and the high submission volume upon return. Refer to Review Categories and Timelines for current approximate turnaround schedules, and please plan accordingly when submitting your application materials.

IMPORTANT SUBMISSION INFORMATION: Use only the most recent HRPP submission forms and HRPP Consent and other templates. If you've already begun an application, we will still accept September versions, but not earlier. (Applications will be returned with a request for current forms.) Bookmark the Forms page and always download current forms and templates when preparing a new submission. (Don't save them to your device or the cloud for future use.)

NEW HRPP EMAIL: To better align with the mission of the Research Integrity and Compliance area, the new email for HRPP and other related programs is researchintegrity@wwu.edu. (Emails sent to compliance@wwu.edu will still reach us, but please update your contacts to the new address.)
