Change in IRB Manager rollout date

Dear SPH Researchers,

 

We wanted to share a few additional updates about the upcoming transition to IRB Manager.

 

Due to the upcoming holiday weekend, rollout of IRB Manager will be moved back to Tuesday, September 7. Previously detailed deadlines for submitting protocols for review in IDEATE remain unchanged:

Researcher videos will be uploaded to the HRPP website by end of day today (August 31st).

 

In a recent update, we recommended that all researchers save PDFs of their existing protocols in IDEATE for their records and to facilitate the IRB Manager population process (if the PI will be populating the protocol rather than Central). When saving PDFs of your protocol, please note that the last approved amendment in IDEATE is the current, active, approved protocol for the research study. This is the protocol that should be saved and used to populate the protocol shell in IRB Manager after the new platform goes live. The latest Amendment should incorporate prior amendment submissions since each new Amendment pulls through the last approved submission.

 

If the only submission associated with a protocol was the initial submission (no Amendments were submitted), this is the application that should be saved.

 

Note that when saving a PDF protocol in IDEATE, only the body of the application will be saved, so protocol attachments need to be saved separately. Additionally, if you would like to save a copy of your initial protocol as originally submitted for your own records, that will need to be saved separately.
