New Feature: The Institutional Profile (IP) now available for CSV download
The Institutional Profile (IP) is available to export as CSV format both on the public website “Participating Institutions” page and within the IREx portal on the “Find Other Site” page. To download a CSV file of ALL responses from ALL IREx Participating Institutions, click Export Institutional Profiles (IP) and either Export IP Labels (all questions and answers written out as they appear on the IP) or Export IP Raw (variable names and raw data). Users can also download a CSV file of IP responses from one specific institution by clicking CSV button next to that institution’s name.
New Feature: Annual reminder to update Institutional Profile (IP) sent to HRPPs
IREx will now send an annual reminder to IREx Liaisons (IRB/HRPP personnel) from the date the institution last updated their Institutional Profile. The reminder is to encourage HRPPs to keep their IP up to date as state laws or institutional policies may change.
Updated Feature: Institutional Profile now allows Save & Return Later feature
Institutions wishing to complete or make iterative updates to their Institutional Profile can now press “Save & Return Later” to publish what was completed or updated without having to complete the entire profile. This helps make it easier for HRPPs to make quick updates.
New Feature: Institutional Profiles Download is Publicly Available
The IREx Institutional Profiles (IPs) are now publicly available for download as a PDF on the IREx Members Page of the public website. The new PDF will include a time-stamp for the date the IP was last updated.
The IREx IP contains basic information about an institution that others can use to determine if they feel comfortable relying on, or serving as the Reviewing IRB for, that institution. In addition to creating greater transparency among HRPPs and IRBs, making the IPs publically available will facilitate and streamline the single IRB process by making information more readily available. Moreover, this fosters high-quality information sharing between institutions.
