The Meritus School of Osteopathic Medicine is hosting a free virtual MCAT Boot Camp from July 13-17, led by MSOM faculty. This workshop is designed to help students strengthen their MCAT preparation with guidance from experienced faculty.

Space is limited, so register soon if you are interested.

If you have any questions about the boot camp, contact Dr. Shawn White at  shawn.white@msom.org.

The UMBC Human Research Protections and Integrity office is in the process of updating our IRB application in the coming year. For us to accomplish this, all protocols that were grandfathered into Kuali in 2020 will require conversion from the legacy format to a full protocol. This will make amendments for you more seamless moving forward.

The legacy conversion process is straightforward. It will not require IRB review, but protocols will be reviewed by the HRPI office to ensure your submission matches the legacy file as of 2020, and incorporates all approved amendments over the last 6 years. If you are making any changes in addition to the conversion, these may need to be reviewed by the IRB prior to approval.

If you have completed all data collection, are no longer in contact with participants with no planned follow up, and all data have been de-identified, you may choose to close your protocol.

All legacy protocol conversions need to be submitted to our office for review by 12/31/2026. If we have not received it by then or you have not communicated with our office by 12/31/2026, we will consider the protocol abandoned and will be closing it out in January 2027.

We have attached an instructional guide for protocol conversion. If you have any questions or need assistance with this process, please reach out to our office, irb@umbc.edu.

Thank you,

UMBC HRPI Team
