Guidance

As a board reviewer, you may be asked to review an application for a Single IRB (SIRB) study that the site-control model. These instructions are intended to help board members navigate ERICA in order to complete a thorough review of the information for each participating site the University of Utah IRB oversees.

If you have questions about anything relating to the main application or site-controlled applications, please contact your IRB Coordinator.

CONTINUING REVEW:
Step 1:	Click on the link of the study (either in your board member inbox or the email assignment from ERICA). The main Continuing Review application you are reviewing will remain the same; open the “Printer Version” of this and conduct review as you would any other application.
Step 2:	While still in the print view, scroll down to the section called “Progress of Sites and Enrollment,” where the list of site-controlled locations is displayed. Any participating site listed here should be opened by clicking the name of the site. From there, the participating site specifics and the corresponding documents and attachments may be reviewed.
Step 3:	The participating site application should be reviewed as any other application, including opening and reviewing attached documents (such as site-specific consent forms). Repeat this process for reviewing each site, taking notes (as applicable) to add to your main board member checklist. Individual checklists are not necessary for each site.
Step 4:	The IRB Staff should have provided you a summary document that outlines participating site differences/progress/changes as applicable. Please review this document and verify if the information is approvable. You may choose to base your board member checklist summary off this document. In your board member checklist summary, please note any participating site study specifics that are different from the main study. After opening and reviewing all applicable sites, you are now prepared to fully complete your board member checklist.
Step 5:	If reviewing the application at board, please make mention of the fact that this is a study where the University of Utah is acting as the Single IRB, and note any site differences that may need special consideration during your presentation.
