New IRB Forms Required July 15
New IRB forms (full application, protocol summary, special population and consent forms) must be used for any new protocols submitted after July 15. These forms were revised in response to an external review by the Association for Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs. Submissions on old forms received after July 15 will be returned to investigators. The new forms are available at http://healthcare.partners.org/phsirb/ .
