Some of its elements may be files which are already published in a permenent form and openly accessible on the internet, such as previous studies being replicated or which provide evidence of safety. Rather than copy those files into this project, simply add a hyperlink to them. All other elements of this application must be copied into this project to be published as part of the IRB opinion. If any element must be kept private, put it in the "Private Information" component of this project. For example, if the target sample is so specific that anyone who is aware of the target sample will know exactly who participated, then you should protect the privacy of your subjects by mentioning that target only in the "Private Information" component. This project contains a number of templates. Leave the IRB Opinion template for the IRB to use, delete templates inapplicable to this case, and fill-out the rest. Link all files to the Table of Contents immediately below your names above. Notify the Chair of the IRB when this application is complete.
