question

You finished putting your application together – now what?

answer

You click submit!

question

Where is the submit button?

answer

The submit button can be found on the main page of the submission in the column on the lefthand side.

Note: clicking “Finish” at the end of the application does not submit the study to the IRB.

question

But what if I don’t see the submit button?

answer

The submit button is only visible to the PI and PI Proxy.

question

What if I am not the PI or PI Proxy?

answer

You will want to contact your PI or PI Proxy using Huron’s messaging system.

question

How do I use Huron’s messaging system?

answer

Great question! We have instructions for this. You can access them below.

How to add comments from your study workspace
question

Will the PI automatically be notified once the submission is ready to be submitted?

answer

No! You must notify the PI using Huron’s messaging system or by sending them a personal email.

question

Does the PI have to click submit on every submission?

answer

Yes, unless they delegate you the role of PI Proxy.

question

What is a PI Proxy?

answer

The PI proxy may act on behalf of the Principal Investigator of the study and can submit a study for initial review, modify the study, or submit for continuing review.

question

How can I become a PI Proxy?

answer

You will need to have a conversation with your PI to request this role as only the PI can designate you as a proxy. Instructions on how to add a PI Proxy can be found below.

How to add a PI Proxy and Primary Contact to an IRB Study
question

Can there be more than one PI Proxy on a study?

answer

Yes! The PI may assign more than one proxy, but all proxies must be listed as team members within the study.

question

I’ve clicked submit – now what?

answer

Your submission will go from “pre-submission” to “pre-review”. This means that your application has been received by the HRPP Office and the pre-review process will begin.

question

What does “pre-review” mean?

answer

This is when you and your IRB Coordinator work together to prepare your submission to be reviewed by a Board member for approval! Don’t be discouraged if you are asked for revisions or clarifications – this is how we ensure your study meets all the criteria for approval and follows the regulatory requirements.

question

How do I know who my IRB Coordinator is?

answer

IRB Coordinators are assigned by department, and you can locate yours by clicking here. IRB Coordinators are always happy to help.
