Human Research Protection Program Administration

Submission of Research for Review

All study-related submissions (including request to amend approved protocols, exceptions, protocol violations, corrective action plans, and serious adverse events) must be submitted in PRISM. 

• Exception requests should be submitted in PRISM via Fast Track. There is an option for exception requests.

• Corrective Action Plans should be submitted in PRISM via PV/SAEs. There is an option for Corrective Action Plans.

If you have any questions about what constitutes a protocol deviation or violation that should be reported, please contact the ORCI staff, email addresses below.

All Other Correspondence

We welcome your questions, and we ask that your use our email address for all other communication. Please include the PI-IRB protocol number in the subject line of all correspondence. 

Please note: IRB main office reads and "triages" IRBMail daily, have ready access to protocol files, and assign each query for response. Please DO NOT email IRB Analysts or the Chair directly without including IRBMail on protocol matters as this risks loss or delay in responding to your request. It is also not necessary to cc any of us individually on queries addressed to IRBMail. Urgent patient care related queries will be forwarded immediately to the Chairman from IRBMail.
