IRB Information

RAMP

Mason’s Electronic Protocol Management System

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) utilizes the RAMP suite of tools, accessible via the internet, for electronic protocol management, on-line submissions and many other important research oversight features for the George Mason University research community.  Some of RAMP’s many features include electronic document management, web-based protocol sharing and collaboration, automatic notifications, electronic submissions and reviews, integrated training and credential management, and important audit capabilities including electronic revision histories, electronic signatures and event tracking.

Getting Started with RAMP

You may access RAMP from virtually any computer using a web browser by visiting https://ramp.gmu.edu/ 

  • All IRB submissions must be done through RAMP.
  • All IRB forms may be downloaded through RAMP.  Note that signatures are not required on the forms and have been replaced by digital signatures (which you will do through RAMP upon submission).
  • Click here for a tutorial video on how to submit new protocols via RAMP.
