New Feature: Reorganized Site Approvals on the NEW ‘Approval History’ tab

Relying Sites can now access ALL approval documents from a single tab. IREx has combined the Study-wide and Site-specific IRB Approvals tabs for relying sites into a single ‘Approval History’ tab to simplify navigation. On the Approval History tab, the current approval is displayed first followed by all past approvals in descending order. The Reviewing IRB and Study Manager can use the Approval History tab to view approvals shared with a specific site.

New Feature: Approved sites’ status on new reviews change to “Approval Pending”

In the past, when a new review is added to a study in IREx, sites’ status changed from “Approved” to “Not Approved” since they haven’t been shared the new approval yet. To improve clarification and uploading of new approvals the approved site’s status will now change to “Approval Pending” until the sIRB or Study Manager shares the new approval with the site.
