All departments have now been using the online IRB application system (IRBIS) for at least one year. One particularly complicated (and occasionally frustrating…) feature involves how INFORMED CONSENT DOCUMENTS are handled.

The changes will alter how consent forms are created, edited, reviewed and stored…and will affect all current and future users of the system.
