Note the following reporting requirements post IRB approval. All IRB forms are located in IRBNet forms/templates. The following activities require further submission to the IRB:
- Amendments: Modification to the study must be approved by the IRB prior to implementation
- Continuing Review: IRB review is required at least annually, unless a shorter approval period was determined by the IRB. IRBNet will generate an automatic email notification 60 and 30 days prior to study expiration.
