System Enhancements – May 31, 2019

Enhanced: IREx requires a determination letter and consent forms (if applicable) be uploaded as part of the Relying Site Approvals. However, IREx also allows for “Other” documents. Study Managers (SMs) can add a label to name the type of document they are uploading. Customizing the types of documents allows for greater specificity and helps better group the documents.
Enhanced: When a PSite finishes documenting their local considerations for a study, IREx automatically notifies the SM and sIRB. We updated the text of this email to include language that the SM should pre-screen the information provided in the surveys to ensure the right type of information is provided. If any changes are needed, they can request the PSite edit the local considerations in IREx. The SM and sIRB will also be notified when updates are made.
