The ERICA renewal and amendment applications have been revised. Please read below for the updates:

Amendment Application
New questions have been added to this application and all amendments submitted after September 29th will be required to complete these questions. Amendments that are currently in process that have not been pre-reviewed by the IRB staff before September 29th will be required to complete the new questions in the application. If the amendment has been pre-reviewed by the IRB staff before this update, the new questions will not be required.

• Renewal Application
• Continuing Review Application FAQ
• How to Complete the Continuing Review Application

The renewal application is being re-named the Continuing Review Application and will now also include the Final Project Report. Studies will no longer have a “Renewals” tab or a “Final Report” tab – all continuing review applications (including all past renewal applications) and final project reports will be listed under the “Continuing Review” tab.

New questions have been added to the beginning of the application that will allow you to either submit a Continuing Review Application or a Final Project Report. Based on the answers you provide on the first page of the application, you will be directed to fill out the Final Project Report or the remaining pages of the Continuing Review Application. For more instructions about how to fill out this new combined application, please click here.

Other questions have been added or changed in the Continuing Review Application and all Continuing Reviews (Renewals) submitted after September 29th will be required to complete these questions.

Renewals that are currently in process that have not been pre-reviewed by the IRB staff before September 29th will be required to complete the new questions in the applications. If the Renewal has been pre-reviewed by the IRB staff before this update, the new questions will not be required.
