Bug Fixes – July 29, 2019

Fixed: IREx “Users” can now view studies where a component of their FWA is participating.
Fixed: The “Resources” link in the Study Manager welcome email was updated.
Fixed: The Local Considerations export now labels the component site folder using the FWA “short name” and the component site “short name” (e.g., North Univ Med Ctr– North Childrens Hosp”).

Bug Fixes – June 28, 2019

Fixed: IREx behaved erratically when users accessed it via Internet Explorer (IE), so the platform was updated to more compatible with IE.
Fixed: When uploading a relying site’s approvals, dates of submission, review and approval are required. IREx was requiring the dates, but not telling Study Managers which sites were missing dates.

System Enhancements – May 31, 2019

Enhanced: IREx requires a determination letter and consent forms (if applicable) be uploaded as part of the Relying Site Approvals. However, IREx also allows for “Other” documents. Study Managers (SMs) can add a label to name the type of document they are uploading. Customizing the types of documents allows for greater specificity and helps better group the documents.
Enhanced: When a PSite finishes documenting their local considerations for a study, IREx automatically notifies the SM and sIRB. We updated the text of this email to include language that the SM should pre-screen the information provided in the surveys to ensure the right type of information is provided. If any changes are needed, they can request the PSite edit the local considerations in IREx. The SM and sIRB will also be notified when updates are made.
