OR-5 Signature Approval

The OR-5 Research Proposal Approval Form is the University's process for documenting institutional review and approval of research activities before commitments are made on behalf of the University.

Through the OR-5 process, the University reviews matters such as researcher eligibility, resource availability, institutional support, compliance requirements, financial considerations and other responsibilities associated with the proposed activity.

All signatures on the OR-5 Form signify agreement with the Meaning of Signatures document and indicate approval of the proposed activity moving forward through the application or approval process.
