Does Your Research Involve a Department of Defense (DOD) Organization or Unit? Are You Supported or Funded by the Dod?

1. Log into iRIS: https://iris.ou.edu/
2. Start your new Study Application as described in the How to Submit a Full Study Application page.
3. You must select the check-box next to the third option (Funding from one of these federal agencies: Department of Defense...) in section 550 – Funding, even if you are not receiving funding. You will then need to select "Direct" below the first question in Section 1715-Federal Agency Funding. Again, select this answer even if you are not receiving funding. This will lead into the DoD section, "Section 575 - Department of Defense Research." Please answer all questions to the best of your ability.
4. Complete the online application and upload the appropriate documents as described on the How to Submit a Full Study Application page.
5. Upload the DoD IRB approval or DoD Unit site support letter when it becomes available.

Yes. You, your faculty sponsor (if applicable), and anyone listed as key study personnel in section 3.0 of the application must complete CITI training. You may still submit your study application documents before training is complete, but you must complete the training before the study can be approved.
