Electronic Submission, Review, and Management of IRB Protocols
The University is requesting proposals
from qualified organizations to allow us to review your products capabilities
for electronic submission, review, and management of Institutional Review
Board (IRB) protocols. The goal of this RFP is to find a product that will
facilitate submission, review, and management of clinical research protocols
by reducing paper and preparation costs of IRB submissions, improving
communication between the IRB and investigators, and streamlining protocol
management.
The University currently has 4 IRB panels. Each panel meets once per month. With
one exception, studies requiring full board review are assigned to a panel
based on the submission date of the initial application. Once a study is
assigned to a panel, it remains under the oversight of that same panel for the
life of the study. The one exception is that any study proposing to involve
prisoners must be assigned to Panel 02, which has a prisoner advocate as a
member.
