Continuing Review and Closure Forms REQUIRED for Relying Sites
Please note, all non-VCU sites that rely on VCU for IRB review will be required to submit a continuing review progress report at the time of continuing review. The effective dates for this requirement are below:
Beginning on November 1st, all expedited studies will be required to submit a continuing review progress report at the time of continuing review. This is effective for all expedited studies that include relying sites, whose expiration date is November 30th, 2018 or later.
Beginning on January 1st, 2019, all full board studies will be required to submit a continuing review progress report at the time of continuing review. This is effective for all full board studies that include relying sites, whose expiration date is on or after January 1st, 2019.
The continuing review progress report can be found here.
In the event that the research at a relying site closes BEFORE the study closes at VCU, a closure report MUST be submitted with the amendment to remove the relying site. This form should also be submitted when a closure request is submitted for ALL sites. The site closure form can be found here.
