Create Renewal with Amendment
Approved protocols typically expire after a year since approval. If the investigator wants to renew the IRB approval of a project that received approval within the past year, they need to submit a renewal request. The renewal with amendment action allows the investigator to submit a renewal request and make changes to the research protocol at the same time. This can occur more frequently than once per year, but must occur once per year for all protocols requiring IRB review/approval.

Upon create action for the renewal with amendment, the system creates a renewal protocol with a protocol number derived from protocol number of the protocol being renewed followed by a suffix of R001 for the first renewal, R002 for the second renewal and so on. Once the renewal protocol is approved, the changes are merged with the original protocol and the renewal protocol with the suffix of R00* ceases to exist. |
