Staff

Thank you for using the OHRP website resources. The structure and content of this site will change after IRB submissions move to WRAP in February, to reflect the updated system and review process. A preview of the updated website is available for everyone to review and explore in preparation for the change. We anticipate minor disruptions and delays during the transition and will greatly appreciate your patience through this process.
