Notice to Investigators: Mandatory Conversion of Paper Studies to myIRB

Since February of 2016, the IRB has allowed investigators to avoid converting certain types of active studies to myIRB. However, the recently revised Common Rule that goes into effect on January 19, 2018 will result in many changes that UF will need to implement.

As a result, all studies currently in the IRB’s legacy system (i.e., in paper) must either be converted to myIRB or be closed by December 31, 2017. If we have not heard from you or your study staff regarding your intentions for your active study by December 1, 2017, the IRB will proceed to close any remaining “paper” studies. The IRB will contact the PI before closing a study when there is a possibility of currently active study subjects. Read More…
