What to have ready

The form asks for:

  • IRB Approval Number
  • Study Title
  • Notification Type
  • Date of Event / Notification
  • Description

You can attach supporting documents after submitting the form.

What happens after you submit

Your request is given a reference number and assigned to a named person in the IRB secretariat. You get an email confirming it, and they are alerted at the same time.

Everything after that happens in one place. Track it under My Requests in your portal, add comments or attachments at any point, and see who it is with and what state it is in. If the IRB secretariat needs something more from you they will set the request to waiting on your response, and you will be emailed.

You can reopen the conversation on a request after it is completed, and nothing is deleted.

We aim to acknowledge your request within one working day, and to complete it within 2 working days.
