VCU Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) Blog

The VCU HRPP is dedicated to facilitating ethically and scientifically sound research through robust review of research projects and through effective education and outreach to the VCU research community.

On 9/15/2021, RAMS-IRB was updated to version 9.0, which resulted in significant changes to the look and feel of the system, specifically relating to navigation and the reviewer notes interface. This blog post compiles resources for researchers who need to navigate RAMS-IRB following the update.

The VCU Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) has developed video walkthroughs for researchers, which demonstrate system navigation for a few different activities in RAMS-IRB, including opening and navigating new studies, managing documents, and responding to change requests from the IRB.

These video walkthroughs can be accessed on our blog, and are aggregated under our RAMS researcher videos tag. Browse the tag to find the video you wish to view.

Additionally, the HRPP has updated the RAMS-IRB Gif Guides relating to opening and navigating new studies, managing documents, and responding to change requests from the IRB.

The RAMS-IRB Gif Guides targeted towards researchers can be found under our researcher gif guides tag. Browse the tag to find the guide you wish to use.

Finally, the VCU HRPP is providing a handout that covers these changes as well. Click the “Download” button below to download the PDF handout.
