New Credentials Question in RAMS-IRB

ClinicalA new question was added to the “Personnel and Roles” section of RAMS-IRB.  All existing studies will be required to answer this question at the time of the next study amendment. Submissions that are currently in development or under review may receive an error message when submitting to the IRB.

To respond to this new question, navigate to the “Personnel” page of the study smartform. Then, open the profile of each member of the study team and respond to the following question, which has been added as question 7:

“The PI certifies that if this individual will conduct any clinical activities as part of this study, the individual is appropriately credentialed and privileged to practice within the institution where the research will be conducted.”
