[FSU IRB] URGENT—Change in Submission Procedures

[FSU Institutional Review Board]

Update on Upcoming IRB Changes

The Office of Human Subjects Research (the Office) has been working on the development of the Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) Toolkit—scheduled to go live on April 20th, as well as the implementation of the new Institutional Review Board (IRB) module for the Research Administration Management Portal (RAMP)—scheduled to go live on June 21st.  The toolkit is a comprehensive collection of documents that will support compliance and contribute to transparency in the IRB process.

To support the HRPP toolkit launch on April 20th, the Office conducted several protocol writing workshops.  If you were unable to attend, a session has been recorded and is available on the Human Subjects website at this link: https://www.research.fsu.edu/research-offices/human-subjects/investigator-resources/training-education/

  *   Beginning April 20th, using the current HSRS online system:
     *   All new protocols and continuing reviews (renewals) will require the submission of a protocol document that is part of the HRPP toolkit. The HRPP toolkit templates can be found by clicking on this link:  https://www.research.fsu.edu/research-offices/human-subjects/templates-and-required-forms/
     *   All protocol modifications (changes in protocol) will be presented with the option to either stay with the current application process, or submit using the protocol document that is part of the HRPP toolkit.
  *   All submissions in the HSRS system that have been updated with the HRPP toolkit templates will automatically be imported into RAMP IRB when the module goes live in June.
  *   Any submissions that have not been updated to the HRPP toolkit templates will not be imported into RAMP IRB.  Modifications or continuing reviews for these submissions will require a new submission in RAMP IRB using the HRPP toolkit templates.

Additional trainings will be scheduled to educate users in the use of the RAMP IRB module; please look out for additional listserv announcements that will contain those dates.
