During the third week of March another system update is expected to be implemented. This update includes an improvement that impacts what you see when you access an approved application . The new view more clearly reflects the approved application as historic content , representative of what the IRB approved at a past date . After the system update, when you click on the protocol number for an approved application , instead of having the application itself open up with the section menu on the left, you will get an ALL ATTACHMENT access table that includes a PDF document (ProtocolPDF) of the application generated at the time IRB approval was issued (see sample screen shot below).

 

This new view does not change how modifications to an approved application, or continuation review requests are created and managed. For guidance on how to create and submit a modification request (MR), review the video tutorial “ Create a Modification Request (MR) ”. For guidance on how to create a continuation review request, follow the instructions in the email reminder notifying study contacts that the protocol is due for continuation review.
