IREx updated the email sent to Reviewing IRBs, “IREx: Participating Sites Added to Study” when a Study Manager adds site(s) to a study that previously offered the SMART IRB V1/V2 reliance agreement. The email subject changed to “IREx: Action Required – Add Reliance Agreement.” This is to notify Reviewing IRBs they must log in to IREx and indicate another reliance agreement (e.g., SMART IRB V3.0) from the IREx Study Setup, since sites can no longer rely using the SMART IRB Agreement V1/V2 after March 17, 2025. This will allow the newly added sites to move forward and complete reliance.
