The IREx approval notification will no longer attach approval documentation to the new approval notice email. Instead, each email will contain a link to the study page where all the appropriate documents are available. This ensures that all approval emails deliver on time and are not delayed due to file size. This is also an improved security measure to ensure that only current / active study team members have access to the documents.

System Enhancements – November 13, 2017
Enhanced: IREx has added warning text and pop-up windows to all actions that trigger automatic email notifications to facilitate better communication from Reviewing IRBs to Participating Sites. These pop ups will identify who will be emailed and provide steps for what to do if you do not wish to send a notification immediately.
Enhanced: To help participating site HRPPs identify their local investigator / study team contacts, IREx now requires a Participating Site contact list document for studies where Participating Sites are listed. This document can be updated when new sites are added to the study.
Bug Fixes – November 13, 2017
Fixed: To facilitate accurate documentation of sites engaged in research, IREx now allows FWA components to be listed on a study independently from their primary FWA holding institution. If a component and the FWA holder have separate study teams participating on the same study, both can be listed, provide separate cede decisions, and have approval documents provided independently.
