REMINDER: New Tools to Assist with IRB Submissions
PLEASE NOTE: Updated links to Protocol Templates provided 8/30/2023
Protocol templates are required for use effective today, June 1, 2023. New IRB submissions that do not contain a protocol will be returned to the researcher after today. If the IRB submission does not have a protocol provided by the sponsor, the use of HRP-503 or HRP-503a protocol template will be required. If the submission has a protocol supplied by the sponsor, the use of HRP-508, Site Supplement to the Sponsor Protocol, will be required. Links to the protocols are below:
- HRP-503-PROTOCOL – submission of biomedical studies and clinical trials
- HRP-503a-SBS PROTOCOL – submissions not involving an investigational agent
- HRP-508-SITE SUPPLEMENT TO SPONSOR PROTOCOL – provides VCU-specific information about research procedures and participant enrollment when there is an accompanying sponsor protocol
Also, the RAMS-IRB updates to reduce duplication between the submission SmartForm and protocol are NOW LIVE.
Please note: The new e-IRB system will be on-boarding and deployed by the end of the year.
Questions and requests for additional consultation regarding new protocol templates are welcome. Please contact Tom Bechert of the Huron Team via [email protected] or the HRPP Office at [email protected]. Learn more about the VCU HRPP’s protocol templates here.
