The New York Cover Sheet-Application For Board Review is a standardized form used by the New York State Department of Health to request approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for research involving human subjects. This form must be completed and submitted prior to the start of any research project that involves human subjects. The form includes sections for the Principal Investigator (PI) to provide information about the research project, such as the research title, the research objectives, a description of the study population, and more. Additionally, the PI must provide a detailed description of the research design, methodology, and data collection and analysis methods. There are two types of New York Cover Sheet-Application For Board Review forms: a full-length version and a short version. The full-length version is used for more complex research projects, while the short version is intended for simpler research projects. Both versions require the PI to provide a statement of ethical considerations regarding the project.
