Submit for Review

The Submit for Review action allows the investigators to submit protocols, amendments, renewals and response to revision requests to the IACUC office. The system also allows for investigators to y select the review type for the protocol and the committee and schedule for the review of the protocol based on institutional configuration.

For any submission review type values such as (Full Committee Member Review, Designated Member Review etc.) that an institute does not want the investigator to select, set the Global Flag indicator to No Submission Review Type value with Global Flag indicator set to Yes will be visible to both investigators and IACUC Administrators. Submission Review Type values which have the Global Flag indicator set to No, will be visible only to IACUC Administrators.
