System Enhancements – May 31, 2018
Enhanced: IREx will send an email notification to the Participating Site HRPPs when the Reviewing IRB makes edits to the study specific reliance plan (SSRP) to reflect any site-specific changes requested.
Update: Aligning the IREx Study-Specific Reliance Plan with the SMART IRB Agreement Implementation Checklist and Documentation Toolkit
IREx’s Study-Specific Reliance Plan (SSRP) was harmonized with the SMART IRB Agreement Implementation Checklist and Documentation Toolkit, which documents how the Reviewing IRB and Participating Site HRPPs will handle any flexible elements of the reliance agreement such as auditing, SOPs, insurance, external reporting, etc. This does not impact existing reliance relationships. The updated SSRP will only appear for studies created on or after April 25.
Official Documentation of Reliance Email
IREx sends an official documentation of reliance email to the Reviewing IRB Liaisons, Participating Site HRPP Liaisons and Study Team Members.
This email is sent after the Participating Site HRPP Liaison has accepted the Reviewing IRB’s study-specific reliance plan (SSRP). A PDF of the letter of reliance is attached to this email.
