The IRB module of InfoEd was updated on December 16th. For the system to work as intended, most open studies will need to be transitioned to the new application form:
The following studies need to be migrated:
- Open studies that received approval or exemption determination from UConn Storrs IRB prior to the system updates (December 16, 2024);
- Open studies that were approved by an external, non-UConn IRB, that have a record in InfoEd.
The following projects do not need to be migrated:
- Research studies that are closed;
- Determinations that a project is not research or projects that are determined not to involve human subjects (aka NHSR determinations);
- Projects for which data collection is complete, and the only remaining activities are data analysis;
- Projects that can be closed because they no longer involve human subjects.
When are transition amendments due?
- Projects that require continuing review with the continuing review application submitted after March 16, 2025 must have been migrated to the new form via a transition amendment prior to the continuation.
- Effective March 16, 2025, projects that do not require continuing review must be updated via a transition amendment the next time a submission to the IRB is needed.
For more information, please see the Study Migration Guide. User Guides are also available on the Human Subjects Module webpage.
