HRPP/ IRB Liaisons have the option to ‘Add HRPP Staff/ Members’ from the homepage and from the ‘+add user’ button on the ‘Find other users’ page. To prevent study team members (IREx Study Managers, PIs, and Coordinators) from being added as HRPP/IRB staff, IREx shows a pop-up asking whether the new user is HRPP / IRB personnel or study team. If study team, the user is directed to add the new user on the appropriate study.

Update Feature: All sites on a study are now listed in the +Grant Site Coordinator Access site dropdown menu
The ‘+Grant Site Coordinator Access’ button on the Participating Personnel dialog will now list all participating sites on the study. Previously, it only listed sites that have registered on the study.
However, the sIRB and Study Manager will not be allowed to add coordinators to sites that have NOT yet registered on the study. If a site that has not yet registered is selected, a pop-up will appear with the following text:
“This site has not yet registered on the study. Study team members cannot access the study until their site registers.”
Updated Feature: The ‘isCollectingLocalContext’ column is now included in the Participating Site export
The Participating Site Report now includes, ‘isCollectingLocalContext’ column to indicate whether local considerations are expected for the study. If not, you will not see or expect any dates for the HRP Survey or PI Survey being completed. A one (1) indicates the study is collecting local considerations.
Updated Feature: Prevent Study Managers from being added as a relying site study team member
IREx will now prevent Study Managers from being added as a study team member (Coordinator or investigator) to a participating site on the same study. This will ensure all users have the appropriate access and Getting Started Checklists.
Updated Feature: Allow Reviewing IRB Liaisons to give Site Coordinator Access
Reviewing IRB Liaisons can now give relying site coordinators access to their studies. Previously, only Study Managers were allowed to grant site coordinator access. Reviewing IRBs and Study Managers can give site coordinator access from the Participating Personnel dialog via the ‘+Grant Site Coordinator Access’ button and from the ‘+Add Site Coordinator Access’ button on the Approval History tab.
