E-IRB Video Tutorial Library

The following video tutorials aim to aid users in the navigation and use of the E-IRB system.**

You may be prompted to log-in to SharePoint using your Link Blue ID and password to open the videos.

**Note that as of June 2026, the content of these videos may be slightly outdated because ORI has been focusing on providing an E-IRB Chatbot to replace the videos (implementation date TBD). If after watching the videos you still have questions about navigating or use of E-IRB, you may reach out to ORI staff for assistance at IRBsubmission@uky.edu, or, to create a ticket for concerns about how the system is functioning, email EIRBsupport@uky.edu. Thank you for your patience!
