Since the implementation of the Huron IRB system, the Office of Responsible Research Practices (ORRP) has received feedback from investigators, research staff and IRB members regarding the processes for amendments/modifications and updating study team member information.
To help simplify, the following steps have been taken:
- Migrated studies will no longer be required to transition to the new Huron protocol template. Revisions to Buck-IRB and protocol information can be made to the currently approved protocol instead. If some information has already been transferred to the new Huron template, it can remain there (operating under two protocols). The new template can continue to be populated until the previous protocol is outdated, or the information can be moved to the previously approved protocol at the time of the next modification.
- Modifications only involving changes to “study team member information” may be submitted by a PI Proxy. Remember that the PI is ultimately responsible for the ethical conduct of the human subjects research and for compliance with federal regulations, applicable state and local laws and university policies.
