New Feature: Reviewing IRBs can now upload additional documents to share with sites
Reviewing IRBs can now indicate in the IREx Setup if they’d liked to provide additional documents to help facilitate the site’s local submission process. This question is found on the SIRB Instructions tab of the IREx Setup and defaults to ‘No.’ If selecting ‘Yes,’ the Reviewing IRB will be required to upload additional documents and a new ‘Documents’ tab will appear on the study page for all users to access the additional documents.
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: Display site(s) listed on the study on the ‘Add Site’ dialog
From the Sites tab, the ‘Add Site’ dialog will now display a list of sites already listed on the study. This will serve as a quick glance to help the user reference what sites are already listed when adding new sites.

New Feature: New steps added to the Reviewing IRB Getting Started Checklist
Reviewing IRBs now have a ‘Request Agreements’ step on their Getting Started Checklist when selecting ‘sIRB only’ in the study setup for whom can use IREx to send instructions for executing the required agreements. Reviewing IRBs will also have a new ‘Manage Agreements’ step on their checklist if there are sites with incomplete agreements listed on the study – when clicked, the Manage Agreements dialog will open for the Reviewing IRB to enter executed agreements for relying sites.
