IREx now includes an automated local considerations feature that streamlines information collected in the HRP surveys by pre-populating the data from a site’s Institutional Profile, based on study elements identified by the Reviewing IRB. First, the Reviewing IRB selects applicable study elements (e.g., children, genetic testing) and can add up to five custom questions on the HRP and/or PI surveys. Then, IREx will pull the relevant questions related to the study elements from the IP into the HRP Survey. The HRP and PI surveys will have a new section, Study Elements Relevant to Local Review, with pre-populated information from their Institutional Profile (IP) that applies or custom questions, which the Relying HRPP can confirm or edit as needed.
