IRB Electronic Submission

Accessing iRIS

Submit all new studies and subsequent submissions to the MHC IRB via iRIS.

Existing McLaren users, please use your McLaren credentials to log in to iRIS (user ID and password). When you log into iRIS for the first time, there may be a delay before you can fully use iRIS. After you log in for the first time, the System Administrator will have to manually set your role and department.

Technical Support

The iRIS technical support helpdesk can be reached at research.informatics@mclaren.org. Please use this email when you have questions regarding any technical issues with your applications. Non-technical iRIS application issue questions should continue to be sent to hrpp@mclaren.org.

When a user contacts the Research Informatics helpdesk reporting an error or technical problem, the staff will make a good-faith effort to understand the issue and provide a resolution. When the helpdesk staff receives an advanced question or is unable to resolve an issue, the question/issue may need to escalate to iMedRIS Support Services.
