All MRI research involving human subjects must be approved by the University of Maryland IRB. Additionally, researchers based at affiliated institutions must have approval from the IRB at their home institution and submit that approved IRB to the MNC.

The University of Maryland IRB Office has detailed information on their website regarding requirements and procedures for MRI protocols, including:

• Username and password for UM researchers to login to IRBNet, the online compliance and research management database; as well as forms for initial application, fMRI specific consent, IRB authorization, etc.
