projects constitute Quality Improvement (QI), which is not considered HSR and will not need HPRB review. This affects primarily student projects in Nursing and health-related fields. We redesigned our HPRB proposal form to minimize stipulations. The online survey format allows for branching logic questions, so there is no longer a one-size-fits-all proposal. Depending on how students respond, they may led in different directions and asked to provide different kinds of information. Some questions have
