Data Analysis Only

This action allows the IRB Administrator to react to a Request for Data Analysis by the investigator and change the status on the protocol to reflect that is kept open for Data Analysis only.

The Data Analysis status on a protocol is used in the scenario in which all interactions with human subjects and active data completion have been completed for the research project. However, the data collected is being analyzed and the protocol needs to be kept open and active for that purpose. This prompts the investigator to submit a request to the IRB Administrator to keep the protocol open for Data Analysis.
