IREx now includes a study short name in the subject line of each email to allow users to sort, group and prioritize their emails from IREx.

New Feature: Include date local considerations surveys were “Updated”
Sometimes Study Managers (SMs) or sIRBs need PSites to make changes to the local considerations they provided in IREx. Before receiving sIRB approval for a study, PSite HRPPs and PIs can make these edits to the Human Research Protection (HRP) and PI surveys (Note: PIs can only make edits before their HRPP validates their answers). IREx will now track when updates were made by the PI or HRPP and include this date on the Status Summary tab so Study Managers can see when the information was last updated.
System Enhancements – May 31, 2019
| Enhanced: IREx requires a determination letter and consent forms (if applicable) be uploaded as part of the Relying Site Approvals. However, IREx also allows for “Other” documents. Study Managers (SMs) can add a label to name the type of document they are uploading. Customizing the types of documents allows for greater specificity and helps better group the documents. |
| Enhanced: When a PSite finishes documenting their local considerations for a study, IREx automatically notifies the SM and sIRB. We updated the text of this email to include language that the SM should pre-screen the information provided in the surveys to ensure the right type of information is provided. If any changes are needed, they can request the PSite edit the local considerations in IREx. The SM and sIRB will also be notified when updates are made. |
