Sponsored Programs & Compliance Update
We are excited to share that beginning January 2, 2026, the Office of Sponsored Programs and the Office of Integrity and Compliance will be shared among the CSU System.
We will provide more updates here as they become available. In the meantime, continue to work with Abby Gade in Research and Sponsored Programs.
Effective January 20, 2026, the Institutional Review Boards of Colorado State University Pueblo and Colorado State University Fort Collins have combined under a single Federalwide Assurance (FWA) registration with the Office of Human Research Protection (OHRP). This change is in response to a system policy change for research compliance published on January 01, 2026. Policy Library – Office of Policy & Compliance – Colorado State University.
All new submissions to the IRB office will be reviewed by either a designated reviewer within the office or a combined committee including representatives from both Fort Collins and Pueblo campuses.
