What Does “Faculty Approval” Status Mean?


We checked – there are almost 100 applications in ERICA right now holding in “Faculty Approval” status. Is yours one of them?

Faculty Approval status means the study has a faculty sponsor that needs to review and approve the submission. The IRB has not received the application and no review will begin until the Sponsor clicks “Submit Approval” in ERICA.

Not sure who your Faculty Sponsor is? Check your ERICA application. On the Study Introduction page, your Sponsor is listed under Question #1b.

What if you’re the Faculty Sponsor but the PI is not at the University of Utah anymore? Call us and we’ll help you get the application managed.
