Automatic deletion of aging draft submissions

Effective November 1, 2014, submissions that remain in “draft” status (i.e., never submitted to the IRB) for more than six months will be automatically deleted on a monthly schedule.  To prevent deletion, simply access the submission and click the Save button on any screen.  Deletion of a “draft” post-approval submission (i.e., Modification, Renewal, or Closure) will not remove any previously approved submissions for that protocol.
