New Feature: sIRBs are no Longer Required to Upload Overall Approval for Continuing Reviews & Study-wide Amendments

Approvals, FRL, IREx Study Manager, March 2020, Reviewing IRB

To further streamline the work of the sIRB in IREx and avoid delays in posting approvals, the Study Manager can now post the overall/lead site approval for continuing reviews and amendments. In the past, the sIRB had to upload this before the Study Manager could upload approvals for Relying Sites. Now, this is a single process that can be completed by the Study Manager.

The sIRB is now only required to create the study and post the overall study or lead site approval initial approval. Thereafter, all approval documents are managed by the Study Manager.

Updated Feature: Clarified “Verify Study Team Contacts” in Getting Started Checklist & Dialog

FRL, Getting Started Checklists, March 2020, Reviewing IRB

To view or add other study team members to a study in IREx, Relying HRPPs or PIs press “Verify Study Team Access” in their Getting Started Checklist.

Additionally, we rearranged the Study Team Contacts dialog to make it easier to see which study team members already have access to the study. Now users with access are listed on the left side of the dialog, and you can add new users using “Add A Contact” on the right side of the dialog.
