Fresno State students are now able to independently access the Kuali Research and Compliance system! Using their University credentials, students will have access to the Protocols module where they will be able to complete and submit their own IRB and IACUC study applications.

Access to the Kuali electronic submission system will not only promote student research, but it will ensure that all human and animal subjects research is conducted in an ethical and compliant manner.
