As of March 17, 2025, institutions must join SMART IRB Agreement V3.0 to establish any new reliance agreements with SMART IRB. IREx will update SMART IRB V3.0 signatory statuses to ensure HRPPs can cede review without delay. For existing IREx studies, Reviewing IRBs must designate SMART IRB Agreement V3.0 as the reliance agreement in the IREx Setup for sites that have NOT yet ceded review. The Reviewing IRB and Relying sites CANNOT cede review in IREx until both have signed SMART IRB V3.0.

Reviewing IRBs and Study Managers can now import relying site study contacts into IREx in bulk. While this feature is available to use on any study, it may be best to use on studies with a large number of sites. For more information and instructions, view the Import Site Contacts Quick Guide.
