Pre-Review

All submissions are first reviewed by an HRPP Analyst in the HRPP Office. If there are missing documents or if further information is required that is necessary to accept reliance, the HRPP Analyst will contact the Principal Investigator (PI) and/or Research Coordinator. Changes will be made to the eIRB application in a collaborative approach between the HRPPO staff and research team.

This process ends once the file is complete. At that time, the submission will be marked as “Approved” in eIRB.

Continuing Review

Each study will be required to submit an annual update utilizing the Continuing Review smart form in eIRB. The study expiration date in eIRB will be set 30 days after the IRB expiration date. This will allow researchers enough time to receive the IRB reapproval, prepare the eIRB CR application, and submit required materials. If the eIRB expiration date passes for reliance studies, you are not required to stop your study; however, you should submit the CR application as soon as possible to prevent a study suspension.
